Christianity, depending on who you ask, was either never intended to be a religion, or was intended as a demoralising mind-virus in the millenia-old conflict between the Israelites and Occidentals. It was originally merely a Hebrew sect, merely an ethos with another prophet. At the time of the birth of Christ, Israel was occupied by the Romans and of course they didn’t like this very much, so there is some debate about whether Saul and Jesus concocted the Christian pacificistic ethos of forgiveness and universalist love as a way to spread dissent in the Roman ranks. The Roman gods, as in natural to European peoples, centred around mythological expressions of the divinity of the world, and the necessity of man to self-overcome. It was common practise that Romans would ‘play’ as the Gods as part of celebration and sport. By contrast, the Israelite God is above men, above time; an arbitrary and capricious being of pure power.
So on a very deep level, a psychic schism is immediately created - thus leading to christianity.
