In all teachings, whether it be from the Greeks, Romans, or Christians, we have some sort of divine power ruling over men. With the exception of some Greek philosophers who, believed in no god or gods. One of the major differences between ancient religion and the Christian religion is the ancients, believed in many gods ruling over them while Christianity is monotheistic. Also, just before the revolution of Christianity there were many skeptics of the old, polytheistic religions. The people 's convictions were shaking though, with them, doubting the gods and their childish prejudice and overall flakiness. Christianity remedied this, however by portraying God as perfect and omniscient.
