@Tfmonkey Roman/Greek traditions should have just neen retained rather than adopting any aspect of christianity. Abrahamic religions should have been outright shunned in its totality. Constantine really fucked up.
@Engineer@Tfmonkey - The biggest secular argument I hear to explain the widespread adoption of Christianity, was because it was a means of unifying disparate peoples within various states and empires. Some people present this as some sort of justification.
But when you line that explanation up with the picture of our modern world... It looks like nothing more high-minded than a govt power grab - something we are all too familiar with.
