Do we have that sort of bounce back as well? matched

Can we talk about the thing I know that William's obsessed with, and that is Mithras and the presence of Mithras, who is a Persian far eastern deity, but you do find him in this sort of porridge of belief that you're describing. matched

Is it because it's very, I was going to say testicular, but sort of kind of manly and men associating with men? matched

I mean, is that why the soldiers love it as much as they do? matched

Into this porridge, we should sprinkle some raisins of Christianity now, shouldn't we? matched

Because it is the newest religion on the block. matched

How does that get sucked in and where do we start seeing it? matched

What is interesting to me is that even though you have it as a state religion, we saw an echo of this when we did our Egypt series where you suddenly had someone deciding that we're not going to worship the gods anymore. matched

We're just going to do the art in the sun disc. matched

And everyone goes, yeah, no, no, we definitely will. matched

But they will keep their shrine secretly at home. matched

Is that what happens with Christianity? matched

Well, you'll be back. matched
