message: I've removed the "clash of civilizations" paragraph because it makes some dubious claims without backing them up, it's not appropriate in an encyclopedia, it isn't neutral...
Describing Zoroastrianism as an "eastern prophet-based religion" in contrast to Lydia, home of the cult of Cybele is incomprehensible.  Isn't Croesus best known for his obsession with prophecy?  Someone just tacked together the words "eastern" "prophet" and "religion" because they decided that the Medians are the bad guys and they don't like religion.
The phrase "explosion of secular thought in the west" in particular proves that this isn't to be taken seriously.  What can the word "secular" possibly have to do with Lydia 2600 years ago?  What is that even supposed to mean?  Can anyone imagine what a "secular thought" would be in that setting?  Is it meant to be a joke?  Or did someone just pick a word that they had a lot of feelings about?
Finally, there's no reason why you get to throw NPOV out the window here and take the side of Croesus.
