If she were completely different she would be different.
You are just assuming that someone smart would necessarily agree with you. That isn't always the case.
Quote:but at least she wouldn't have been murdered by atheists like she was by Christians.
If she were at the center of a political or power struggle, and the people who opposed her were atheists, they might kill her.
Do you think that power-hungry people in the US government, or in the lithium industry (the proximate cause of the coup in Bolivia, most likely) kill because they're Christian? Do you think that atheist CEOs are less likely to command violence than other CEOs?
In real history, she was not killed over a scientific issue, like heliocentrism. She was not killed over a religious issue, like whether the Neoplatonic Hypostases are the same as the Christian Trinity. She was killed over a local power struggle.
