Many philosophers in the early age of philosophy were being targeted, and sentenced to death due to their "corruptive opinions". One example is Socrates. He was sentenced to death by poison because he didn't recognize the gods which were recognized by the state. He believed every idea presented had to be critically argued to prove if its justifiable. Many more people during his time, took interest in philosophy which is basically the study of nature, reality, and existence. Religions contradicts heavily with philosophy and it makes sense why man philosophers were targeted. Religion follows the idea of faith, usually in a god or an entity, but if someone is following philosophy's number 1 rule, faith is not enough to prove liability. To make sure an idea is secure, arguments have to be made, and if arguments can't be presented, then the idea is false and isn't real.
