your video conveniently ignores the first 300 years of Christianity. did it grow through invasion? conquest? fear? actually... it grew threw persecution. and up to that point it was one of the fastest growing religions the world had seen. what we have seen from 312 on is the same thing the founding fathers in North America noticed...

political power + religious power = VERY BAD....

huge amounts of corruption came into the church after the Romans started controlling it.

Islam spread through the world via conquest. Christianity spread through charity and sacrifice.

The roman Empire hit is maximum territorial peak under Trajan (117 AD). Christianity didn't become accepted untill 300 (in the western part of the empire). It did not become the offical state religion untill 381 (eastern half...391 for the entire emipre). By 325, the empire (espically the western half) was in decline.

Christianity couldn't have spread by invasion since Rome was defending it's boarders, not expanding them.

Christianity exists out of fear of hell ( what if?)

Wow dude you aint telling me nothing I don't already know with this video. So has islam and hinduism. Buddism is the most peaceful of all the religions. Those of you who think islam is gonna be the largest religion pay attention to the same amount of converts to Christianity there is for islam.

Actually Christianity is created by a cult of Jews who wanted to seperate them from the normal Jews. Jesus didn't create any religion but He told us to spread His Word. And thank God it is still the largest religion. It has survived and stood the test of time despite all the millions of persecutions in Rome and worlwide to this day. The truth cannot be denied. 2.2 billion in your face, tell you that Yeshua is the way, the truth and the life. In this case the truth is in numbers. God bless.

The Universe is god and it is up to us to find a way for immortality.  But first, we must find a way to travel to other planets in order to handle the population explosion.

Religion exists because humans fear death. The belief in an afterlife is the main theme in the majority of religions. If Christianity didn't use heaven as a propaganda tool, it probably wouldn't even exist.

@Bongobutt123 Jesus never renounced his Jewish Faith, so Christianity is based on exactly what you are saying!
