it was the secular elements that distinguished the classical culture from the Bronze Age Secularization was important, enough to charge Socrates with atheism--which he denied of course, and so did all the other Ionian thinkers hailed for science. It were sophists who preferred the above distintion. What gave classical culture its continuity with the Bronze Age was the pressure to close the gap between man and God.
