Hi ape.
I think that humans in general really underestimate the concept of conspiracy. Jesus "and all religions" are accused of being conspiracies on high scales, used to deceive people & control them.
The problem is ; things aren't that simple. A character with the size of Jesus is something really big, you need at least hundreds of people (with the same mentality,goal & capabilities) to hold to the same ideas for hundreds of years, forge thousands of bibles & books, just to invent Jesus ?
That kind of effort -especially if you're hunted by Roman soldiers- is an impossible task ; the reason stays : WHY ? why would they forge that ?
Religions were never racial ; those religions weren't forged by countries or states. All evidence proves, that people started that, not kings & emperors,the reason stays : why would medieval peasants do that ?
Sometimes, people think about the ancient humans as if they were modern. Ancient humans were simple, most of them couldn't read.
Forging religious conspiracies on this high scale is something impossible to medieval people.
