Greek religion was a nice religion .

It is an extict religion , only shown in movies .

Although to many other people , Roman religion and roman satan worship , animism , judaism , might be good .
Or christianity might be good .

The greeks prayed Sun , they used to do prayers around fire , even Alexander of macedonia had symbols of the Greek gods .


Now christianity is global , jesus is broadcasted everywhere .


What is the reason only Christianity succeeded and all other religions failed ?


Today , Europeans or the White race consider Christianity as their representation ,
It is shown as a religion of the european race .


Everything else is extinct , or is shown in museums as a display product .


As the thing I didn't understood , what is the reason only Christianity succeeded and all other religions failed ?



The greeks became orthodox , roman became pope , and newer divisions of the same religion . Protestant , anglican , catholic , others .

They had a better marketing campaign, stronger armies, and often adapted to the religious practices of the area just enough to make people feel more comfortable about converting.

@WhateverWorks Terrorism is often affective , but it is upsetting .

True, but the Christians were smart about it. Whenever they conquered they immediately implemented forms of charity, a promise that no matter how much your life sucks there’s something better after death if you comply, and an increase in social status/community/power for converting. They use the stick and the carrot. @Max41

@WhateverWorks Their charity had been seen , last year 1000 graves of Native American kids were found near Christian missions , society do not want such charity .

Unfortunately, when people are starving desperate times often required accepting any help that was available under any terms. Historically, people weren’t in a position to refuse the charity if it meant dying. It’s a survival mechanism. @Max41

@WhateverWorks They should have rather lived poor and agrigarian in their home , than stabbed or beaten to death by the christian missionaries .
Terrorism is not religion , it surely doesn't provide any charity as well .

I don’t know what to tell you. I’m not Christian nor a fan. I only answered the original question with an explanation for how they came to be so widespread and in power.


I do think that your hyper-focus on Christianity is a little naïve. Every organized religion has used terrorism. Even Buddhism has a dark side. @Max41

@WhateverWorks But it should not be said that forceful conversion was a better marketing campaign ,
because similar thing muslims had done as well ,
although you had given a nice answer it .

When I say better I mean more efficient not that it was good @Max41
