Plato was not religious (perhaps in the sense that many people don't care about religion or go to a place of worship but they may declare them selfs this or that) you and all the other Gnostic's are reading into it.
I don't think he was religiously Gnostic, you have me all wrong. I do think that his philosophies (which, actually has a HUGE amount to do with Gnosticism since one of our leading ladies is Sophia...) are of a Gnostic nature EVEN though he never knew of Gnosticism. I think that he can be counted as one only because anyone can be Gnostic. If one has the Gnostic way of seeing life, to me, they're Gnostic. It's not that I read into it, it's that I see deep philosophies concerning the Good. - Which was later also captured in scripture that Gnostics had.
Some of his writings touch on what you might consider to be Gnostic in nature but it was not a "faith" for him. I'm not giving you my opinion I'm telling you what encyclopedia of philosophy has to say about the subject.
Yes, I know this. I didn't ever say that he practiced the faith.
And furthermore if you know the answer why bother to ask the question?
Well, a year ago when I asked the question, it was to get actual opinions on the subject flowing. It was to see if other Gnostics saw what I saw when I read a dialogue of Socrates. I was learning to connect the dots, having only had one actual philosophy course, and the rest of my research being done on my own.
