If Christianity never existed, we'd all be pagans. We'd put pine trees in our houses to scare away demons in the middle of Winter, we'd have egg and rabbit fertility symbols sometime in Spring, and we'd be railing against dangerous ideas like evolution.

Unlikely, with regards to the latter. The last gasp of paganism was julian pan-hellenism. Knowledge, learning, a nascent sense of scientific inquiry, these were all positively valued.
Our common ideas of what pagans did or thought is handed down to us by christians, bofc.....not known for their honesty - particularly in describing groups they were actively persecuting. They were described as superstitious bumpkins...ironic, since that's how the pagans described the christians when they showed up.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The Kims constructed a regular religion around their persons. Using all kinds of Korean mythology. ![[Image: Bumper+Sticker+-+Asheville+-+Praise+Dog3.JPG]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-d-3rfdI7nG0%2FTerwtFyFXoI%2FAAAAAAAACak%2F7kFSmHeVrng%2Fs320%2FBumper%2BSticker%2B-%2BAsheville%2B-%2BPraise%2BDog3.JPG)
