I was wondering how much of what any religious person believes is based on his surrounding environment and society. What would a religious fundamentalist from the time of the ancient Greek's and Roman's believe in? Would a fundie from that time period be all about Zues, and be absolutely certain that he was the father of the gods and threw lightning bolts from the heavens? Just as fundies today are absolutely certain of what they believe?
What is the difference between an ancient and a modern fundamentalist, other than the passage of time? Time has shown that what the ancient fundamentalist beleived whole heartedly to be true, is no more than myth and legend by today's terms. And a majority of this is due to the better understanding of the natural world.
What is to keep the same process from eventually claiming modern religions? Or is it just a matter of time, as it was for Zues and Thor, until modern religions are also considered myths by the massess?
