the term "religion" is also a grecco-roman concept, they distinguished between proper, appropriate for public consumption, state-sanctioned displays of devotion to the divine (religio) and private, exclusive, potentially deviant spiritual or occult practices (superstitio).

I sincerely like that you capped this post off with a little superstitious gesture

@AnymMusic not to mention "atheism = smart, religion = dumb" is ahistorical and reductionist.

@shadoll7856 glad people are finding it interesting! and yeah, the edgy/cringy behavior you're talking about was probably the same exact thing they wanted to discourage back then too. regardless of whether it worked or not, knowing your neighbor was trying to curse you or something would probably have some negative consequences since trust and mutual respect are needed for groups of people to live together.

@FRD357 good contribution, I was thinking about curses because I learned about lead curse tablets recently but the cultural differences were probably a bigger factor
