==== {{transliteration|grc|Threskeia}} ====
In [[Ancient Greece]], the Greek term {{transliteration|grc|threskeia}} ({{lang|grc|θρησκεία}}) was loosely translated into Latin as {{lang|la|religiō}} in [[late antiquity]]. {{transliteration|grc|Threskeia}} was sparsely used in classical Greece but became more frequently used in the writings of [[Josephus]] in the 1st century CE. It was used in mundane contexts and could mean multiple things from respectful fear to excessive or harmfully distracting practices of others, to cultic practices. It was often contrasted with the Greek word {{transliteration|grc|deisidaimonia}}, which meant too much fear.<ref name="threskeia greece">{{cite book |last1=Barton |first1=Carlin |last2=Boyarin |first2=Daniel |title=Imagine No Religion : How Modern Abstractions Hide Ancient Realities |date=2016 |publisher=Fordham University Press |isbn=978-0-8232-7120-7 |chapter=8.
