Many people in the Roman Empire found the answer to their need for emotionally satisfying religion and spiritual security in the various Hellenistic mystery cults. Some cults generally provided their adherents with an emotional outlet. For example, the cult of Bacchus was marked by its wine-drinking and often drunken frenzy. While the cult of the Great Mother Cybele en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybele was celebrated with emotional and even overwrought processions, it offered its worshippers the promise of immortality. The appeal of the mystery religions was not simply that they provided emotional release. They gave their adherents what neither the traditional cults nor philosophy could -- above all, security. Yet at the same time, the mystery religions were by nature exclusive, and none was truly international, open to every human beings ~ Page 171
