The split between Spirit and Matter seems to go back further than the Revealed Religions to “pagan Shamanism,” which developed the idea of duality between Dream-Mind and Matter, thinking they could leave the body when dreaming. This was developed, it appears, in very ancient Hyperborean times.
This duality was then picked up, for example, in ancient Egypt and Babylon and by the founders of Judaism while they were in exile in these places. The same duality was carried to India and Iran where Hinduism and Zoroastrianism developed it further, eventually evolving a “oneness” doctrine which supposedly closed the duality by simply rejecting the material side of duality and calling the result oneness.
The Evolutionary Christian Church finally seeks to end this duality honorably by exhuming materialism and synthesizing it with spiritualism, as both the Spirit and Material Body must evolve together to Godhood.
