The West wasn't founded on Christianity (part one)
Published 3 months ago
Description
This is a massive topic—so big it couldn't fit into one episode, so I've split it into two.
This is part one.
My guest is French author Laurent Guyénot, who's written extensively on the Roman Empire and its relationship with Paganism, Christianity, Judaism, and Stoicism. He argues that, contrary to popular belief, the West—rooted in Rome—wasn't founded on Christianity, but on Greco-Romanism. Christianity, he says, was a significant addition, but may have actually accelerated the Empire's downfall.
