> right now we are living in a time that is politically trying to return to tradition, but it's post-modern traditionalist so many of us see the need to look past christianity and glean our more original religion.  there are no traditions in our modern society from pre-christian civilization. you are not talking about returning to tradition, you are talking about regressing to a completely assumed primitive state.  > paired with modern scholarship and archeology, there's a lot we can learn, like what? there is a reason christianity took over, and it was not by force. it was a choice your ancestors made.  > and indeed this knowledge gives us a way to interpret history leading up to the very political factions at war today.  maybe in the foothills of azerbaijan, but no where in the west would this apply. after rome, it was christianity and rabbinic judaism, with muslims mucking about after 700ad.
