There's also the position that Christianity became uniquely European and many pre-existing ideals were reflected in its adoption and interpretation.

To a point, yes, Christianity did very much adapt itself to European thought. However, Europe is not the only place where the religion was brought, and each culture adapted it to their own worldview. Take Santeria, for example, or Nigerian Christianity.

Parliaments, due process, rule of law, etc, is hardly Christian in origin and can be traced back to several cultures in europe including Rome and the Vikings. These concepts have had far more influence on our evolution than Christianity imo. People often mistakenly conclude they originate from Christianity, which simply isn't true.

Very few people can properly perform sex magic. 😤

Oh, there's been a lot of that on places like Gab. Some idiots claim that without Christianity, Europe would never have developed the rule of law. These are, of course, morons.

Now you know the deeper lore behind it, and yet another reason I want jews exterminated. Thor comics was created by a jew, and I can just imagine how many Christians in 1946 would have reacted to Super Jesus, who flies around with a golden cape and swoops down from the clouds to rescue poor maidens from evil. It would be seen as pure blasphemy.

I dunno if paganism is devoid of diety. Schopenhauer's Will or Heidegger Dasein could be called pagan, but they are in a way diefications, as they do aim to answer that ultimate question.
