Again...

I keep looking for the same egalitarian tropes common to secular humanism and paganism and I keep coming up empty. Paganism was all about hierarchy. Secular humanism is all about equality. This is one reason pagan authors, like Porphyry, criticized early Christianity. Given his criticism, it's hard for me to see Porphyry embracing secular humanism and seeing himself and his views and values as being compatible with it.
