Tenet,
There has "always" been someone (or someones) that have taken it upon themselves (or attempted to) to tell others what to believe and how to believe. Its the nature of the human experience.
Its always been up to the individual what to take to heart and what not. Though in early cultures, non-belief could have cost you dearly...if it even occurred to you in the first place.
