...whatever one thinks of the three main religions it is true that one of them, Christianity, was adopted by the very people who killed their prophet....Jews and Muslims grew their religions from the bottom up, from the outside in...their religions were "of the people" before they were adopted by kings...Christianity, had it remained of the people, would have died out....Christianity started out, as an organized religion, being "of the Emperors" and army...only then was it forced on everyone else....neither Moses nor Muhammad had the power the Romans did to impose their religions on their own people...and neither imposed it on others...Christianity was adopted by a very un-Christian Emperor who went on to murder his wife, a son and nephew, when he wasn't murdering thousands of others...this is the "father" of Christianity. Christianity, as a religion, was a political gambit from the beginning, its purpose was to bring together under one, useful, umbrella the over 100 disparate nations with their hundreds of religions the Romans had conquered...that's the reason it has always been more political than spiritual.

We know Christianity would have died out, that it was not welcome by the masses, because we know that wherever an army didn't back it up and impose compliance, the people rejected it...as a whole. There will always be weirdos who will follow anything...but, if you don't threaten entire peoples with death, especially if they have a religion of their own already, they won't convert, not in numbers...Christianity only took hold where the Roman armies backed it and enforced it and murdered all those who refused Jesus.

Christianity was always a political tool...always.

And it only got worse.
