Nowhere in my comment did I mention Christianity. But congrats on outing yourself as another Christian-hating anti-theist.
It was literally based on the religious pantheon, which did, in fact, govern both their societal structures for morality and their political system(s):

Try again.
I'm pretty open about despising all three Abrahamic religions.
The Roman and Greek societies religion did not govern day to day life in any way close to as Christianity, Islam and Judaism does. An equivalent to the bible, quran or torah did not exist.
You're right... which is why things like crucifixions, poena cullei, bestial executions and the boiling brazen bull were common forms of punishment in those societies:
Hilariously enough, you seem to think that level of barbarism is far more acceptable than what we have today, which either means you are a sociopathic sadist or not very well versed in history.
Should I retort with all the creative ways Christian societies and especially the Church itself liked to execute and torture people? Torture is still quite popular today. Although it's being done mostly out of view.
There are zero commandments in Judaeo-Christianity condoning torture.
Nevertheless, you bring up a very valid point that highlights the antithetical nature of your original point: all of the barbaric tortures committed in the name of religion fall outside of the moral arbitration dictated by said religions; ergo, the moral relativism you pined for consists of the secular barbarism you both support (in pagan societies) yet condemn (when committed under religious pretexts you despise).
It highlights the maxim that the Left's only standards are double standards.
Ironic.
