Men and women participate in religion differently. Isis that you worship in rome and isis that you worship in egypt are different figures means different things. Not exactly foreign exotic and strange elements to it not part of roman religion but not part of egyptian religion either. New cults considered foreign and criminal because they are new. Immediate hostel reaction to something new centuries later what had seemed new and radical and dangerous is now normal and apart of being. When do the elites adopt it?-->when they do its not longer a scary sex cult. Old religion is older and more traditional controlled by the elites, chief offices are held by chief people of the state. State religion in the imperial age controlled by emperor. Once more integrated becomes less of a problem. Romans prize being able to think simultaneously. The new cult they are new and different by definition this offers new opportunities for personal fulfillment.
