Page "Religion" Paragraph 5

According to the philologist Max Müller, the root of the English word " religion ", the Latin religio, was originally used to mean only " reverence for God or the gods, careful pondering of divine things, piety " ( which Cicero further derived to mean " diligence ").

Max Müller characterized many other cultures around the world, including Egypt, Persia, and India, as having a similar power structure at this point in history.

What is called ancient religion today, they would have only called " law ".
