“Paganism” is a truly unusable category because it’s just what Christianity and Islam call all the polytheistic faiths they don’t like. It’s not a useful category, it’s so many different religions

I mean the Pagans didn’t like us much either. That’s why they massacred Christians

Yes, religions often persecute other religions in order to maintain their own dominance.

I’m talking about specifically Greek people with a religious legacy. Pantheistic religions were very open with each other and a Mesopotamian traveler for example would recognize Zeus and his own god as the god of the sky and the king. So if you need to worship then the only remaining authentic pantheistic places of worship would be Hindu temples

Well it would be hard for them to worship because none of the ancient temples in Greece are not sites of active worship

Because most were destroyed and as it’s not a major religion here we don’t really have places of worship

They posted abt it and im the one here most similar to them bc im Indian and follow an adjacent religion. I get what it’s like to have ur temples destroyed. If u cant stop it then u can pray at others. I’ve prayed at Japanese shrines to their gods before too

I personally think it’s disrespectful to take what used to be a place of worship until it was destroyed by Christian’s and modern day Christian’s turning them into churches when there used to be so many

There’s some very interesting history with the syncretism of Hindu and Buddhist and Greek faiths in the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom and the Indo-Greek states founded after Alexander the Great

And especially somewhere historical like they can build another church but leave the old temples alone

Building churches over indigenous sacred sites is how Christians and Muslims conquer. In India a lot of churches and mosques were built over the grounds of Hindu temples

Yes I think the Hellenistic and Hindu faiths have an even older connection with the Indo-European gods. But with pantheistic religions the sun god for one is the sun god for all

And I think that’s wrong too if they want more churches they can build new ones
