Ex pastor explains how Christianity is fake

[Anomalocaris]

The difference between whether it is justified to call Christianity “fake” rather than just “untrue” would be whether the untruth of Christianity was primarily created and set on course for wider dissemination by those who knew they were untrue, or by those who didn’t know they were untrue.

I think many of those instrumental to Christianity attaining its influence knew it was untrue, so it is justified to say it is fake, not just untrue.

I don't see that as necessarily true, given the number of believers who are obviously sincere.  Christianity is a set of beliefs, which makes it as real as socialism or veganism or environmentalism.

The number of sincere believers is large.   But there were probably a limited set of supposed occurrences that were instrumental for Christianity gaining critical mass at various stages.  I strongly suspect high percentage of those occurrences were fakes and fabrications, not just the product of genuine wishful thinking.
