“How many Romans or Jews in the time of Tiberius could have predicted that a small Jewish sect would ultimately conquer the Roman empire, and emperors would forsake the old Roman gods to worship a crucified Jewish rabbi?”
Indeed, a good question. As far as I am aware, at present, there is no religion that continues the traditions of ancient Roman or ancient Greek polytheism in their original form. Curiously, why is that?
I think that religions without centralized power simply stand no chance. On the other hand, what about Hinduism and Taoism? I’m not well-versed in this subject, but it’s interesting. I had never contemplated how it turned out that a dominant religion across a vast territory was completely obliterated.
