Sure, but comparing what people thought 2000 years ago to what they think now is a fruitless endeavor.

The concept of democracy came about around that time too (at least the Greek one, which arguably wasn't the first but I digress) but should we exclude women and foreigners from it? That's what the early proponents of democracy wanted.

The Athenian concept of democracy had existed for the better part of a millennium by the time Christianity appeared.

Hmm you're right. I thought it was closer to 0 ad, but it looks like it was closer to 600-300 bc.

Doesn't change my point though.
