"Whenever a nation comes under a new form of government, the heroes of the past becomes the villains of the present. So it is with religion.

Miraculous heavenly events they termed "white magic"; this was the sole distinction between the two. The old gods did not die, they fell into Hell and became devils. The bogey, goblin, or bugaboo used to frighten children is derived from the Slavonic "Bog" which means "god," as does Bhaga in Hundu"
