No to both questions. Science is also a Phase, and the Pure World is the abscence of Phases. It isn't religion that places Phases upon the world, it's culture. The way people think of the world and how it works. Important but minute difference, until recently, historically speaking. Unless you consider science a religion. Which it technically can be. Probably the in-universe reason science has advanced so quickly in recent history, compared to the 200,000 years our species has been around, or the 6 million years some form of human has been around. You know, besides the lack of an Industrial Revolution.
