No the Greek & Roman rationalist philosophers that began to appear in the 5th century who began to question the gods, myths & origin stories. You know , there were the great ones like stoic Marcus Aurelius that maintained the integrity of the organized state so all these hero/messiah afterlife mystery cults would have an empire to spread itself & flourish in to begin with. (kind of important, wouldn't you say?) Look at early proto Christianity, what they were arguing about (nonsensical), there's always going to be secret societies with far flung esoteric supernatural mythologies & secret mysteries, these were already well known going back to ancient Greece. Always going to be arm chair believers that delight joining in these arcane societies & speculations, its still the aolescence of our race, even now, look at you! Men ended up worshipping the Son of a Blessed Virgin, now thats a page right out of Nature, the holy "Mother" & the holy "Father" and the holy "Son"....pretty basic humanist stuff. Where does all first love in Nature emanate from? The Mother of course...

If you look at religion & mythology itself, nothing could be more evident than another case of descent with modification based on already basic structured hierarchies of life, just mentioned. There have been more rewrites than anyone can count, cutting out ,rejection & selection. And the great mystery is? Well one would be the macrocosm, the other the microcosm and here we sit on terra firma squarely in the middle, there's absolutely no evidence for anything more than this "beyond", a pure fantasy.( and as always, everyone needs to eat,safe boundries, shelter, clothing, that part is real)
