What religions were persecuted and disappeared (between 1000 BCE – 1 CE)?

Upvote:8

Two examples from the Mediterranean and the timeframe 1000 BCE–1 CE come readily to mind:

  1. The import from Greek into Rome, worshipping Dionysos/Bacchus, which had practices around their Bacchanalia that were ultimately not tolerated in otherwise mostly laissez-faire Rome, and thus this cult/religion was persecuted:

    Livy claims that seven thousand cult leaders and followers were arrested, and that most were executed.

  2. A whole group of persecuted and now extinguished cults or religions. Literally: all other forms of worship than 'Jahwe alone', whether Jahwe and Ashera, Jahwe and other gods, El, Ba'al or whatnot, within the radicalising towards strict monotheism theocratic Israel/Juda/Judea. Source: The Bible, Old Testament.
    Much of the 'taking of the land' narrative can be read as struggling against Philistines (and their religion), against Canaanites (and their religion), other peoples (and their religion).

    Concrete examples: quite many, here two:

    1. 'Golden Calf worshipping', Exodus, Moses is not amused

    2. Prophet contest between Elijah and Ba'al adherents:

      I Kings 18:40: And Elijah saith to them, `Catch ye the prophets of Baal; let not a man escape of them;' and they catch them, and Elijah bringeth them down unto the stream Kishon, and doth slaughter them there. (YLT)

    Note: like the wonders dealt out in that episode, the actual events and numbers slain should probably be not taken too literally as 'historical event, happened exactly as described in that text'.

These would be examples of the more systematic persecutions of others—and thus their religions— that echoed significantly through time.

There are much more examples when we also take into account more localised clashes, like rather frequent troubles in Alexandria mainly between Hellenised, Egyptians and Jews, or on Elephantine when again Jews (of a then still pretty polytheistic description!) and locals with their Khnum temple disagree about who or what to worship and how to properly sacrifice things or especially animals.

All examples listed so far emphasise that 'religion' is not to be read exclusively as our understanding of 'religion', that is largely about abstract belief-systems, but much more as a struggle between almost tribal ingroup/outgroup problems, and othering. The Greek, Roman and even Jewish religious leaders and followers were usually able to coexist and to cooperate, to tolerate each other. As seen in Greeks often trying to systematise other religions with equating their gods to their Greek gods, the Romans importing usually all other gods into their pantheon (with the big exception Bacchus and a little trouble with Isis), and the Jews willingly offering sacrifice and especially prayers in their Jerusalem Jewish Temple for the Roman leader of state (of course: not to that leader!)

A necessary critique of the original claim, that "many were persecuted, none survived". That is evidently untrue. The Samaritans had to endure quite some struggles and persecution from their beginnings, and their numbers are very small today, but they're still around!

Further: If the notion from the original author should imply that most religions from that timeframe which did die out within that timeframe, due to 'persecutions', and not later, mostly due to monotheistic persecution by Christians or Muslims, then that is also a bit questionable. This violent suppression and elimination may have been present from time to time, but most changes in that timeframe were much more peaceful. On that subject:
