You're mixing up culture and religion. Greek civilization and their philosophy led to the Enlightenment. They were cruel and believed in slavery but their civilization and the influence of their philosophy will be remembered longer than that of the fast food hamburger joint epoch.

"If survival "is the only value according to which a culture is eventually to be judged," then the Nazi culture, which lasted twelve years, had a certain degree of value - the Soviet culture, which has lasted fifty-five years, has a higher value - the feudal culture of the Middle Ages, which lasted five centuries, had a still higher value - but the highest value of all must be ascribed to the culture of ancient Egypt, which, with no variations or motion of any kind, lasted unchanged for thirty centuries."
