Y'all. Roman Polytheism was not woke and socially progressive.
Neither was Greek Polytheism, mind you. Alexander the Great didn’t get that title by leaving people alone.
If I’m conquering your country, I can murder all your priests, or I can save some time and money and syncretize your sun god with my sun god. Wow crazy how we both worship Apollo even though we’ve never met? What do you mean his name isn’t Apollo? His name is Apollo. You’re Roman now by the way. You can keep worshiping your version of Apollo but if you stop paying taxes we kill you.
