There were some great discoveries made in the ancient world. The Greeks for instance had calculated the circumference of the Earth, and the Egyptians had mapped the stars. We are proud and grateful to them for all of the discoveries they made which allowed us to graduate to the point we are now, where we harness electricity, along with sound and light waves, etc.
However to claim that these people knew the secrets of the universe is another matter.
So on one hand, the Egyptians were putting peoples organs in pots so that they would be accepted into the afterlife, and of course we all think that's silly, but then you want to take claims that some guy rose from the dead because he was the son of god seriously?
You don't see how these two things have the same level of "it's ancient ignorant nonsense" to them?

What dreadful logic.
Some religions didn't exist before the twentieth century. Because, say, Scientology is modern, are you saying that makes it a legitimate belief system?
...or does the legitimacy of a religion and the claims it makes have absolutely nothing at all to do with how long people have been believing in it?
