(translation of a part): "The foundations of Latin civilization lay neither in a sacred book, as for the Jews, nor in an epic text, such as the Iliad and the Odyssey for the Greeks, but in a series of customs and models, embodied in exemplary characters, that had to be imitated. A set of values ​​and norms gathered under the name of “mos maiorum”: literally, “the custom of the ancestors”, which were defined as “maiores” because they were greater in a moral sense. These unwritten laws regulated the life of the Roman citizen, even before the drafting of the XII Tables, and were based on orality and memory, drawing their auctoritas [authority] from repeated application over time.

During the most archaic phase of the roman history, those laws were guarded, administered and interpreted by the priests, the rex and the pontifex maximus [both beeing religious officies]. The transgression of the mos maiorum represented a violation of both civil and religious order: an act that disturbed the Gods and which, in order to restore the relationship with the divinity, could be punished with the death of the person responsible.

The fundamental principle of the mos maiorum was the pursuit of the collective good: the hero qualified himself as such not for extraordinary individual qualities, but because he used them in the defense of the state, in contributing to the well-being of citizens and of Rome.

The life of the civis romanus [citizien of Rome] was governed by austerity, rejecting the typical luxury of oriental populations and devoting himself to military commitment and agricultural work.

The mos maiorum had five main values: virtus, pietas, fides, maiestas, gravitas. He who possesses virtus is valiant in war, confident in his own strength and in the Roman state, fearful of the gods, respectful of the laws. Pietas is certainly more difficult to circumscribe: it embraces values ​​and meanings ranging from "duty" to "devotion", from "justice" to "filial love", from "affection" to "fidelity". The fides is the oldest virtue honored in Rome, whose cult was established, according to tradition, by Numa Pompilius and subsequently restored by the emperors who sought the fides militum, or the "loyalty of the soldiers". The main meaning is therefore "loyalty", "fidelity to one's word": it regulates relationships between men, constituting the foundation of law, but also of friendship, or the social pact that unites the customer to his patron. In ancient times, she was depicted in the effigies as an old woman with white hair, older than Jupiter: respect for the given word indicates the principle of every social and political relationship. The maiestas instilled in the Roman people the feeling of superiority: the Romans claimed to be a chosen people. Gravitas brings together essential qualities for the Roman citizen: seriousness, composure, dignity, authority. "

Again, i respect you in your political thinking, but you literally know nothing about nor christianity, nor paganism. You totally rely on an outdated and unreliable source as Nietzsche, which i already pointed out was antichristian, very likely, because he was gay, and he thought that a fake paganism would fit better. There are no christian values that can't be directly linked to the mos maiorum, which is, even according to Dumezil itself, the most accurate derivative from the original indo-european spirituality. Rejecting christianity as whole you are rejecting the aryan race.
