[ WP ] Instead of Christianity , Judaism , and Islam , the three major religions to make it to the 21st century were the Greek , Roman , and Norse pantheons .

The coffee shop was a bit full this morning, as per usual. Customers chatted amongst themselves, making it hard for me to watch the news, well it would've if there were n't subtitles. 
 
 It went on about political disagreements, one side saying that applying Roman standards to a secular system is limiting to those who do n't follow the Gods. The opposing party was quick to bring up that entire government was inherently Roman, although with a couple changes. I took a sip of my coffee as I began to finish up my reports. 
 
 A man sat down next to me. I continued typing, not paying him any heed, occasionally taking swigs. 
 
 He said something that I could n't quite understand. I took out my headphones. `` What?'' 
 
 `` Stupid political bullshit going on huh?'' He repeated. 
 
 I shrugged. `` Not really. I think it's quite nice to take into account those who do n't follow Jupiter and... whoever else is with him. We're becoming a more atheistic society and it's great to see the government conform to it.'' 
 
 He laughed. His grey tank top which clung to his body and his short blonde hair which was incredibly wet, bounced with his laugh. On his right tricep was a tattoo, a laurel crown surrounding the letters SPQR. `` We've had these traditions for two millennia and the've been doing just fine.'' 
 
 `` The traditions you celebrate now are not similar to those at the beginning.'' I turned back to my laptop. My left hand started to finger my pendant. `` May I remind you that Latin is a dead language.'' 
 
 His face when solemn. He was speechless for a moment, trying to think up a response. He then noticed my necklace. `` May I remind you that you have a dead god.'' 
 
 My hand froze. I probably should've seen that coming. I had a habit of fidgeting with the necklace when I was a bit agitated. It always drew attention. 
 
 `` Yeah that got you to shut up.'' 
 
 `` I was n't the one who started this conversation.'' 
 
 `` And I was n't the one who started shitting on another's religion.'' 
 
 `` I was simply pointing out that no matter what, things change. If you'd like I could've said early Greek is dead too.'' I closed my laptop and stood up. 
 
 He clenched his jaw. `` One thing has n't changed though, and that's Christianity is still under the foot of Rome.''
