Alpha male, you should try reading Homer (8th/7th century BC), or Herodotus from the 5th century BC, or Plato's Timaeus from the 4th, or Book I of Cicero's On Divination, written about 40 years before the birth of Christ. Those are just a few examples of how deeply superstitious even the most intellectual of persons were, not to mention the mass of mankind which has always been too willing in its embrace of ignorant and silly explanations for human experiences. You'll find after doing serious research and reading those texts that nothing separates Christianity from the countless other mythologies that reason demands we treat as simply that.
Also, you can read basically any Greek and Roman work on this amazing research tool: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/coll...reco-Roman
