Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the "more reasonable,
less barbaric" ancient religion condone human sacrifice
(e.g. the religious execution by the Athenians of the
three high ranking Persian prisoners after the
Battle of Salamis Bay), and what did it say about
slavery? Remember that the enlightend golden age
of Athens under Pericles was supported by the silver
mined by thousands of slaves who could pass their
short lives without ever having seen the light of
day.
