For what is civilization, Mary have her insight:
“it’s easy to come to a place like the Acropolis and to assume that whatever religion there once was here has gone for good. But I think we should be a bit more careful. However secular they might be, when people here look at this monument, when they admire its art and engage with its mythology, many are reflecting on questions that religions have often helped us face. Where do I come from? Where do I belong? What’s my place in human history?
I think people are engaged in a modern faith here, the one we call civilization. It’s an idea that behaves very much like a religion. It offers grand narratives about our origins and our destiny. Bring people together in shared belief. And the Parthenon has become its icon.
So if you ask me, “what is civilization?” I say, “it’s little more than an act of faith.” “
