Democracy grows and flourishes in diverse opinion. The whole point of freedom of the press and freedom of religion is that views can be tested and measured faithfully against one another. Everyone has bias, that can't be avoided by using other systems of governing. In a democracy those biases can't become public policy unless there is more than bias behind them.

In a direct (or radical)l democracy the citizens met in regular assembly, considering and deciding on all matters of government. A Council implements these decisions. This is far more democratic than today's indirect (representative) democracy where elected representatives form a parliament and vote how they or their party want, not necessarily the way their electors want.
