Still the case now. Most of the 'Christians' I know have a vague sense of a good god & heaven & a cultural ID. They focus most on life.https://twitter.com/addamschloe/status/783219897761402880 …

Its a minority of us who will spend considerable time arguing for or against the existence of God. Most people are not interested in this.

I always thought the same was true about ancient Greece, Rome or Egypt, affecting people culturally more than philosophically.

I'm sure that's true tho I don't know much about it. Most people aren't philosophers. Practical realists.

True.Also, I guess most people were gullible superstitious ignoramuses that simply followed some mainstream traditional beliefs?

Most ppl don't give this stuff serious thought but maybe coz just not that important rather than unthinking acceptance?

Dunno. I struggle to imagine the life of a European commoner. When it came to it, were they sure of beliefs or just went along?

Often they didn't even know that much abt what they were meant to believe. Ritual, rote answers, songs, plays.
