The modern notion that non-Abrahamic religions are inherently crypto-materialist, race-based cults is a recent invention. Paganism, as it existed after the Flood, is a corruption of the original paganism; in the Atlantean era, the global faith was a universalist, monist religion akin to Hinduism—indeed, Hinduism is the closest thing to proto-paganism that exists today. This religion was universalist, and for its adherents, blood, nation, and lineage held no importance; they practiced inter-species hybridization and racial mixing, using technology to create half-human, half-animal hybrids. There was neither intolerance nor racism until the Proto-Chinese grew weary of everyone sleeping with their women; they subverted and destroyed proto-paganism, corrupting it into the "blood and soil" racial cults that characterize most post-Flood religions.
