Interesting... and, in a sense, it's all along a single axis. Simple paganism was always mostly about taboos, regulations, (separating) identities, and manipulating the supernatural through commerce-like transactions. That's what all the prophets of the "Axial Age" were pushing against, and so much of what we complain about now in religion is nothing more than those tendencies pushing back.
