tribal beliefs
Indigenous spiritual customs
Tribal beliefs are the shared convictions, customs, and worldviews held by a particular group or community.
The term originally described the religious and cultural traditions of indigenous peoples, but now often appears dismissively to characterize any group's ideology as primitive or unexamined: He dismissed their political positions as tribal beliefs.
The phrase can imply blind loyalty to in-group thinking over rational evaluation.
