This video reminds us that Western civilization is not Judeo-Christian, it is based on Greek thought. It is Greek thought that brought democracy, freedom of thought and expression to the West, separation of religion from state and many other breakthroughs that have now spread to the whole world. Religious thinking and its concept of absolute truth are contrary to freedom of thought, open discussion of ideas, equality of all men and democracy. Greek-based thought would also prevent religious based ideas which are the mother of antisemitism. the Ancient Greeks, were not antisemites; they allowed Jews to keep their religion.
