Glorification of "Cow" as an object of worship is heavily influenced by religious colors. The real fact is if people are travelling from one to another with their livestock, they are going to use its milk for food, skin for clothing, shoes, etc, meat for food. For ages, this has been a trend of people who came from some place and settled at another place.
People who preach religion and advocate religion depend on religion as their source of livelihood. New religions, new thoughts about life are always decremental to the authority, power and money to such people. One of the easy ways to promote religion and make it your source of livelihood, power and strength is to increase the number of followers.
Now the main question is how to increase the number of followers?
Let us go back in history, when people were travelling in tribes and settling in new places. Each tribe will always carry root words that will recognize them. Each tribe will carry animals that will feed them.
Now how to make tribes join the religion?
The most common way of joining the tribes is distorting their original historical existence and combining something common.
The most common thing that each migrating and travelling tribe had food and the food was inform of animals. In ancient times, when humans were more dependent on nature, when rivers were not tamed, when jungles were filled with animals which were dangerous to human life, the most prized posession were the livestock or the animals, that these tribes had for their food supply.
Sharing of food and hospitality has been a major feature of many cultures. Therefore sharing of animals travelling with the people was also common feature, when they arrived in new migration places.
Sharing livestock (animals) does not mean that all of the people who used these animals owned these animals or were the original owners of these animals. Now comes the role of religion, if religion wants to spread then it needs to increase it strength by incensing its number of people. Then the "owners of religion" would try to gather strength by increasing the number of animals in their stock and ask the "followers or the new supposed to be followers" to present some offerings and in this way some of the "preachers of religion" became the "owners of these animals", this does not mean that they were the real owners or the original owners.
