What were the neoplatonists' attitude towards Christianity (or religion in general)?
Upvote:5
There were Christian Neo-Platonists like John Philoponus and pagan Neo-Platonists like Proclus, who lived in Alexandria and Athens respectively. Philoponus wrote a famous refutation of Proclus' (and Aristotle's) doctrine of the eternity of the cosmos, and defending the Christian doctrine of the creation. So there were Neo-Platonists on both sides of the divide.
