Atheism and Christianity are really two sides of the same reductionist coin. Both base their entire view of divinity on the concept of God as this pure moral arbiter whose entire purpose is to distribute metaphysical gibs to every goyfaggot in the world Pagans, animists, etc never had this problem. They recognized that the world is full of beings/forces beyond our comprehension whose motives are just as capricious as any other living thing's, if not more. An obvious truth to anyone who has viewed the world through this lens
