Re-reading M. Daraki’s book, Du stoïcisme d’Athènes à Saint Augustin, p. 214, in a section titled, “Le Dieu personnalisé et la Nature sacrée”:

In any case, cosmological dualism is a datable product. Man is wont to think of nature as matter as soon as he begins to transform it. The God of judaism became angry at first against technological hubris, then he saved what could be saved by focussing sacredness in sacred space. But profane space grew and grew, since man can’t be humble on all planes. He submits to an authoritarian Father and submits nature to his power. In this exercise, man ended up becoming more and more intelligent. From now on, he feeds daily on the fruit of knowledge that the humankind of another time had held as forbidden. And he hardly can believe anymore in a God whom he disobeyed with such admirable results.

I interpret the history of Judaism and Christianity in the reverse direction. Meaning, sacred space was broadened, or rather the possibility of a sacred-profane dialectics now extends to all aspects of human life and is not anymore a matter of external calendars and sacred space. It may play itself out in the soul.
