Wow, that's pretty arrogant isn't it? Some might say that it's so much easier for the primitive mind to explain the observable forces in nature by attributing them to an all powerful father figure in the sky.

Also, calling the ancient Greek mind primitive is to completely ignore the massive impact they had on democracy, science, philosophy, art, literature, sport, civilisation, and the list goes on. In fact, if it hadn't been for the rise of that monotheistic movement some 2000 years ago putting the brakes hard on free thought and progress, we could be exploring the galaxy by now.
