Romans outlawed human sacrifice about 100 BC.
Today's modern medical symbol (caduceus:
two serpents entwined around a winged staff)
stems from pagan God Hermes... Hippocrates
(460-371 BC) was a Greek philosopher-physician
who has been called 'the father of medicine'.
He and his followers dismissed the idea that illness
was simply caused or cured by superstitions,
spirits or gods.
Greco-Roman society were into universities
[The Platonic Academy, est. by Plato: 387]
thus four centuries before Christianity even
became a gnat on the radar screen.

When did Christianity actually grow up and get
its act together to make contribution of any
notable significance?
