Imagine he won and we saw the birth of the fourth great abrahamic religion

In fact imagine the sikh empire also won and we had a world split between five forms of monotheism like some avatar nations type shit

Always wondered how the Taiping Christianity would treat other branches of Christianity, especially the Talking Cross Christianity that emerged in Mayan majority regions during the Mayan rebellion of the same timeframe.

They'd sent their missionaries to the entire world and wewuzz about every christian historical figure being secretly taipings like muslims or mormons do

Shortly into the war, Hong Xiuquan lost interest in fighting and secluded himself with his harem. When his cousin (Hong Rengan) returned, he was ushered into a leadership role. Rengan had been educated in mainline Protestantism by a Swedish missionary while looking for a chance to rendezvous with the Taiping army, so if they'd won, they likely would've converted to typical Protestantism, just with a bit of commercialized mysticism surrounding their first priest king.

Fag, the Taiping Rebellion was 5 concurrent civil wars in 1. Most of the rebel armies that were indentified as "Taiping" were either separate movements or independent warlords that """"swore fealty"""""" to the Heavenly King out of the need to cooperate. Most of them did not follow Hong & his kooky Hakka cultists and some of the Taiping Sub-"Kings" were already fighting each other.

If Hong won, all that will happen is China's Warlord period starting earlier than our Timeline.

Meanwhile, in the Taiping Royal Seal:
>Heavenly Father God; Grace and Tranquility; Eternal stability in heaven and earth; Eight hail Marys; The Jade Seal (of) The saviour God-King Hong Ri (Hong Xiuquan), Heavenly brother of Jesus Christ, True ruler of the world, True emperor of nobility and fortune, Forever bestowed possession of the Empire.

That doesn't sound too steeplechurch protestant broski. More like a bizarro combination of Protestantism, Catholicism, and Folk Chinese Heaven Worship & Mandate of Heaven imperial justifications.

Niogga, pay attention to what is in front of you. You have a lot of work to do.
