Religion is the word you're looking for.
And why religion? The answer is: control.
I mean they did have religions in greece and rome, yet it's full of nude art
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
Yes they fucking did lmao. Greek women had absolutely no rights
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.
So maybe just an old tradition that hasn't died out yet ? A sharp edged piece of societal flotsam that we're still dealing with ?
Is muskrat religious?
His only religion appears to be financial technofeudalism. I guess the religious fundamentalists aren't lucrative enough for him to enforce their commandments.
