On a sidenote, I just finished reading "Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Republic" (by Tom Holland; highly recommended) and it really brought home how much superstition and mystery were used by Eastern religions (everything from Egypt/Syria and east - including judaism) were used to support King systems and how much both the Greeks and Romans found it abhorant - until fear overtook the Republic and the masses gave way to these idiots form the east with apolyptic visions and how merchants and political power grabbers used it to destroy the Roman Republic.
Fast forward to today and it's tha same shit all over again..all the hardwork of the American Revolutionaries to put reason back into government losing out to shallow religious fearmaking...
Doomed to repeat and all that...
