Yes, math is a tool, Captain Obvious.
The question is how/why do our brains conceptualize something that has no material existence; and yet, it comports with objective reality in a way that is useful? It’s almost as if our brains were designed to discover it and put it to use.

"Militant Atheist"
"A militant atheist is one who is hostile towards religion. They differ from moderate atheists because they have the desire to propagate atheism and also hold religion to be harmful. Militant atheism was an integral part of the French Revolution, Soviet Union, Cultural Revolution, and is expresses itself today in the ideas of the New Atheist authors."

Both lugnuts and honeycombs are hexagons. That's not a coincidence no more than the fact all the best wheels are round.
A person doesn't need to know math to realize the superiority of certain shapes over others. Math allows people to describe the shapes. As such it can become a universal language.

Isaiah 6:5
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
Bees make the strongest shape and don't know math.

What is the strongest geometric shape?
The hexagon is the strongest shape known. Not many people know this but if you
want something to hold a lot of weight pick a hexagon. Hexagonal patterns are
prevalent in nature due to their efficiency. In a hexagonal grid each line is as
short as it can possibly be if a large area is to be filled with the fewest number of
hexagons. This means that honeycombs require less wax to construct and gain
lots of strength under compression. It's also one of the only shapes which
tessellates perfectly (think tiles, if you tiled a wall with hexagons then there
wouldn't be any gaps.
