          Greco-Roman paganism didn’t treat women as owned property of men like the Abrahamic faiths do

          Yes they fucking did lmao. Greek women had absolutely no rights

          right, which means it isn’t “religion” as a concept which is the problem.

          Also, sexuality is pretty commonly open in Hinduism, which is a pretty huge current religion.

          It isn’t a problem with “religion”.

            I was going to say, isn’t the Kama Sutra a Hindu text? We have a bunch of sex positions that may have been lost to time if it weren’t for the Hindu religion.

      So maybe just an old tradition that hasn’t died out yet ? A sharp edged piece of societal flotsam that we’re still dealing with ?

        His only religion appears to be financial technofeudalism. I guess the religious fundamentalists aren’t lucrative enough for him to enforce their commandments.
