Although the influence of the Bible has guided Western Civilization for two thousand years, there are still those who seek to revive the gods of paganism, only now the gods have modern names: not Kronos but Progress; not Aphrodite but Sex; not Apollo but Culture; not Athena but Science. One has only to survey certain aspects of the modern world to see the cults of the gods still preserved. The point is not to condemn the gods as such, but only the worship of the gods.
