Woah! I'm a little high right now, and being raised in a Christian society, while watching this it suddenly hit me what it felt like for Ancient Greeks being raised in ancient time with their religion being something they were so certain elegantly explained the world into which they were born. It's like I experienced a genetic ancestral memory from an ancient Greek ancestor. These people REALLY believed all of this, and that every other religion was wrong. I'm experiencing the qualia of that.
greek religion is unimmaginably more complex than what can be said in a ten minute video. the gods are not twelve. Their number is like the stars. And like the sky, they are one. There is one god beond the manifestations of creation. Then there are the spirits and terrestrial and marrine gods and subterranean gods, and in generral the cosmos is seen as a living immortal being animated by a single soul. The soul of the world.
I am James Powell, this student's professor. I can't correct all the problems in all the thousand plus documentaries, but you are indeed right about all of it Pilaeus. Had I written the script for this, this wouldn't have happened. Thanks for the corrections!
They used this to label all those remaining loyal to their Ethnic Traditions, to imply that they were uneducated and uncouth villagers. The term was used for centuries in most European languages to refer to the Ethnikoi. In the 20th Century, it was reintroduced with the suffix neo (viz. Neopaganism), by various Christian-inspired devotees of Esotericism and the New Age.
We prefer not to use this term which was applied from the Christian church in order to insult our ancestors and their religion and way of life. The term 'Pagan', which in the original Latin is derived from Paganus (peasant), is yet another insult used by the victorious Christians since the 4th Century, to belittle what remained of the Native Religions.
In our days it is used to call a non-monotheistic religion as pagan or neo-pagan, but this word in reality is an insult for the native/ethnic polytheistic pre-Christian religions.

'Neopaganism' doesn't concern us. It may even be a manufactured ploy to detract from the current world rule of the so-called 'Monotheists'.
"Pagan" as a pejorative term was used in the past by institutions attempting to destroy other cultures and native/ethnic religions.

About the Term "Pagan":
In our days it is used to call a non-monotheistic religion as pagan or neo-pagan, but this word in reality is an insult for the native/ethnic polytheistic pre-Christian religions.
