Saw a documentary last night about the first city/ies, and how rigidly behaviour had to be codified to enable people to live so close together. Before "settling down" people could just wander off and do their own thing if they didn't like their neighbours. Once they have a fixed abode and vested interests, everything changes.
Suppose pagans and heathens also include nomads, but a small community (village) would still have more freedom than a large community (town/city). I suspect the restrictiveness of a community (its dependence on rules) would be quite closely related to the amount of space available to an average individual within that community.
