Polytheistic / henotheistic cults are predominantly based on blood sacrifice and communal eating of that (burned) offering as social cohesion ritual. You will find animal sacrifices in Judaism, Islam, or mainstream Hinduism, human sacrifices in ancient Levant, Mesoamerica, or in role-playing of the same in Christianity. And while Abrahamic religions claim a monotheistic status, with all their angels, saints, demons and other incorporeal beings, they are de facto full fledged henotheistic blood sacrificial cults. Good ole Sumerian perversion of animism. So yeah, no wonder Christians were persecuted for “Thyestean banquets and Oedipean intercourse.”
