Why is religion especially Christianity so widely practied?

[GODZILLA]

Aggressive marketing. Christians would go into a country and romanize the local dialect so they could print bibles to spread their propaganda. "Back home" they were talking up the fact that they were teaching the heathens how to read and write. And fuck missionary style.

Fun fact, the missionary position was brought over by explorers and taught to the Native Indians. In turn they taught us how to sit.
