The Axial Age

Dawkins’ bogus religion theory

But one thing to consider is that it came into existence in the wake of the Axial Age, and then straddled an entire age until the modern, at which point its impetus began to fail. We see the desperation in the attempts to cast its ’seeds’ in the West, as the whole structure collapses.
