What if religion never had a "breakthrough"?

RE: What if religion never had a "breakthrough"?
The Romans actually invented the Scorpion, which was a much more effective heavy archer artillery piece than what the Greeks had been using. It was like comparing a smooth-bore rifle with a rifled, magazine-fed Prussian rifle. It's design would later be used to propel small stones, which was quite effective in sieges....it made the victory at Masada possible though they could have also won by just keeping their camps posted for additional months.

Jonb. Why is it that the British only think of their contributions to law when they were in fact centuries behind mainland Europe? It was not until the second millennium that they even were adopting laws and legal processes from the Romans that had been running the daily affairs of nations such as France and Spain.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
