Circular - begs the question, why were there zealous missionaries?
Because it on the whole has exploited wide spread cognitive, psychological, behavior and sociological weaknesses of humans more effectively than other religions have thus far. However, whenever man made institutions compet against each other, there is bound to be one that momentarily out perform all the others. If good performance allows the institution to bake in more durable advantage, then the tenure of the leading performer can last a substantial amount of time. This happen to be Christianity at the moment.
However, It was not continuously the most effective in this, Islam far surpassed it during several periods in history, and threaten to surpass it again now. Nothing other than contingency ensconced Christianity in its current position.
Despite strident efforts of your ilk to lengthen Christianity’s tenure in its current position, it will eventually lose it to something else. Some other other cults and religions will certainly rise sometime in the future to approrpriate its methods, implement it more effectively, and completely crush and supplant Christianity as the go to superstition amongst the feeble minded.
