But you forget the context of the times we live in. We have a world that scientists have mostly explained. We have hope that the rest of the world will be explained through science. We have reason to believe that. We've had dogmatic belief struck down by courts time and time again, and we're continuing to make progress.
The ancient Greeks were often brilliant. But they lived in an irrational world in which nothing made logical sense. Look at their literature. Every story is religious in nature. It's always about the gods interacting with people, punishing people, getting drunk and screwing people. It's fascinating stuff and I love it. But to compare to modern society, that's like if every single story had God coming down from the heavens to help one side or the other. The Greeks NEEDED God in their lives. We don't.
