Civilization trends work with a delay In what we call the Christian Middle Ages, thought, behaviour and interpersonal relations were primarily determined by the legacy of previous pagan (archaic) times This applies not only to the various folk festivals, but also, for example, to the doctrine of the three peoples, which constituted the absolute ideological basis of medieval society The doctrine of the three peoples was derived neither from the Bible nor from the works of the Church Fathers, but from ancient pagan cults and myths, where the balance of power between the three deities ensures the balance of the universe, and to this corresponds the three social layers

When one thinks about it, it becomes quite clear that the last centuries, when the public space was full of atheistic rhetoric, were also the most Christian period in the history of the West Personal liberty, equality, solidarity of all people, the idea of progress, the separation of faith and science… all these are ideas and ideals that come directly from Christian texts

The question logically arises as to what would be the social structures and relationships actually determined by the ideal of rationality and science.
