      Yea but Greco-Roman paganism didn’t treat women as owned property of men like the Abrahamic faiths do. It’s not necessarily religion in total, it’s that the current dominant religions are extremely controlling and more about self-oppression for eventual reward than guidelines for a good life like most pagan sects

        right, which means it isn’t “religion” as a concept which is the problem.

        Also, sexuality is pretty commonly open in Hinduism, which is a pretty huge current religion.

        It isn’t a problem with “religion”.

          I was going to say, isn’t the Kama Sutra a Hindu text? We have a bunch of sex positions that may have been lost to time if it weren’t for the Hindu religion.
