Quick question: How is making up gods for everything you can't explain different from believing in god because you can't explain the universe?

There is no difference, really. One makes up a God -> Others follow -> Rules of worship are written -> You have yourself a religion.

By the way, who are these people that are criticizing the Romans? They were no closer to discovering the universe than any other society was at that point.
