You mean how did Christianity spread to every corner of the earth in a few hundred years after, and even topple the roman empires idol worship, having the emperor convert to Christianity and finally legislate religious tolerance? You mean that religion? how's come? Duh, maybe it's just smoke and mirrors. Wow.
Christianity was adopted by a Roman Emperor because he rightly judged that he could make people who might not be so enthusiastic about killing for the emperor enthusiastic about killing for Jesus. Once established as a state religion, there was immediate and brutal persecution of competing religions internally. Then, the empire breaks apart, leaving behind a void which is filled by many marauding barbarian kingdoms who get in on the Christ thing and put it to use in their various bloodlettings. Eventually, Christendom decides to spread via the sword to Iberia and the Middle East, by firearm and disease to the entire Western Hemisphere, and by slave chains to millions of Africans. It sits put for a few centuries more where it is maintained by persecution, pogrom, and the occasional massacre. And that's not even counting where Christians kill other Christians for not being the right Christians or some other profoundly stupid reason.
Your religion is a fucking virus, spreading through death, misery, rape and theft.
