if Christianity was never founded would hellenism be the largest religion in world
>>18115747kill yourself.
>>18115747It would probably some asian type of paganism, at best blended with buddhism. Hellenic paganism is somewhat well recorded, but there isn't anything particularly special about it that it should spread to the rest of Europe.
>>18115765Tengri-Olympian-Buddhism.If only...
No Christianity means no Islam and no Manichaeism, those would be its natural competitors otherwise.So Greco-Buddhism would prevail in the West. Maybe the Western Sangha would eventually come up with new Bodhisattvashttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Buddhism
Christianity IS the natural evolution of Mystery Cult Hellenistic religion. If it was not Christianity it would be Mithraism or an Imperial Cult.
>>18115747No, it would just be somw other form of monotheism.
we're all falling down the same escalator.
>>18115747No. Homosexuality is mostly restricted to Whites.
no, there was other monotheistic religions going around, emperor Aurelian tried to establish the cult of Sol Invictus into the official sole deity of the roman empire, there was maniqueism which was coming in force too. Mithriasm was a little niche but it also have considerable influence on the roman empire. There was the cult of the divine emperors too. Jupiter and the greek gods were already in decline long before christianity
>>18116669Manichaeism wouldn't exist without Christianity
>>18116669>emperor Aurelian tried to establish the cult of Sol Invictus into the official sole deity of the roman empireNo, the cult of Sol Invictus was not a monotheistic cult nor it try to suppress the cult to other gods Aurelian didn't make him the sole deity, but the patron deity; those are very different things>There was the cult of the divine emperors tooand they where worshiped as part of the pantheon>Jupiter and the greek gods were already in decline long before christianityno, they weren't
>>18115747In a sense, but I believe it would be in the form of a more codified and organized form of Neoplatonism instead of the classical cults or greco-buddhism
>>18115764>redditor christ tranny seething over someone asking a speculative question over something not having to do with his retarded kike death cultwhy are they all like this?
>>18115747Christianity was founded only because of Sun micronova - it was essentially a post apoc solar cult like a previous cults of Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn - all connected with solar system catastrophes
>>18116181Christianity was not organic, it was state approved by Rome and many Roman nobles joined the upper strata of the church between the 4th and 6th centuries.
>>18115788Maybe zoroastrianism? Or the jews accidentally invent another religiont that is universalist? Maybe mandeanism?
>>18115747Cross pollination between Platonism and Judaism was already so strong and Greco-Roman gentiles taking an interest in Judaism was already happening before Christianity, and continued happening after. Christianity just came along as the natural culmination of both these things along with several other movements.So even if. Christianity never existed, there would probably still be a very similar religion made from most of the same basic ingredients.
>>18115772vgh.....
>>18118889>Christianity just came along as the natural culminationThat's not true, and judaism was invented by Greeks to subvert Canaanite identity.
>>18115747Nicean Christianity is a syncresis of the mystery religions that largely replaced Greco-Roman polytheism by the 4th century, favoured by Rome because the teachings of Jesus lined up with Stoic thought which was the de facto creed of the educated class.
