It's a good thing atheists and scientists never want to destroy the beauty and spirituality of indigenous cultures, isn't it?
The real druids were a bit more like the peaceful and “spiritual” Arabs who inhabit modern Palestine. The pagans sought to appease gods that regarded them as slaves and playthings. To them the world was full of spirits and they were fearful of makng a move without an offering to placcate one. The Idea of covenant with a god like Zeus, such as we encounter in Homer, is laughable. The idea of slavery is a natural extension of the perceived relationship between gods and men, with the upper classes assuming the role of gods. The supposedly ferocious God of the Hebrews was a teddy bear in comparison with pagan gods, including many Hindu gods of whom the western world is olivious.
