I disagree. As bad as they were, even they did not murder the most innocent of their people by the millions like we do today. Christians are still be persecuted (always will be), world gov't has never been closer to reality, and terrorists are killing thousands of people at once, just to show that they
can.
I believe we are even worse off than when the pagans ran things.
Abortion was a serious issue even more than 2,000 years ago. Women aborted their babies then, they do it know. The numbers go up and down depending on where we are in history and the public feelings on abortion at the time, but the murder of unborn babies is nothing new.
I have no idea what the numbers were then, but there are far more people on the earth so I suppose, percentage wise, it could be similar, though I think there were less then simply because medicine today informs us earlier of our pregnancies.
