8. Yes, that has always been puzzling to me, how a "progressive"

religion would revert to a regressive one.

And I would agree that religion, per se, is not probably the ultimate cause. After all, the "scriptures" used by the Jews and Christians have not changed, but their practices have. Same with Islam as well.

Is it all economics, culture, etc., that causes these changes?
How did the Vikings change from being bloodthirsty raiders to (possibly) the most progressive countries on earth? (Denmark, Norway, Sweden)?
