There's never been an "orthodox Christianity"; rather, right up to the present day, things have been in a constant flux. The Council of Nicea did not change that, but rather fueled it. You can, for instance, compare Lumen Gentium (in particular, #14) from the Second Vatican Council to Cantate Domino from the Council of Florence. I do not know (or, for that matter, really care) what people like Drich believe. His version of Christianity is one of many, right from the "beginning" (which likely began in the 40s, a decade after Jesus' death) right up to the present day. The Christian religion(s) is just a bunch of competing memes, cultural viruses that infect individuals and cultures down through the ages, mutating and changing as the "doctrines" morph and evolve over time.
