What do you think would've happened if Christianity hadn't taken over the Western civilization?

I am not trying to make anybody angry, it's a serious question.

There would be no western civilization. Christians from the eastern Roman empire brought the teachings that led to the Renaissance. Without it, we'd still be in the dark ages, and still in Europe, only overrun by the Ottoman empire.

Probably nothing good. Christianity is responsible for a lot of the good things that have happened. People like to gripe about the crusades, but Christianity caused more good things to happen than bad things. Without Christianity, there would still be slavery (Christian churches were heavily involved in the Abolitionist Movement), women wouldn't be able to vote (again, churches were heavily involved in that, and human life became sacred (before Jesus, life was cheap). So, I think that life without Christianity would be nothing like we know it now, it would be far worse for everyone.

He could be a physically powerful participant when you consider that his rookie year i think of, nicely no Shaq might develop his stats for sure yet in incorrect way, he could no longer win NBA identify with that group so certainly he has to initiate a set in basic terms like what LeBron did, oh yeah he won't be that oftentimes going on besides because of fact he might have performed in a small marketplace group. BQ: 5 years? confident I meant LeBron makes it to the right 10 NBA gamers in basic terms in 3 years, so i think of Jennings can try this the two. BQ2: Brook Lopez too undesirable his group continues to be winless

Christianity did not take over, Roman Catholicism did, with the results we all know.
There were always independent groups of Christians all over Europe, and North Africa, who did not agree with the RC's control demands. These groups were peaceful, and believed in living a clean, moral and loving life.
As the RC gained control and favor with govt's, these groups of believers were systematically hunted down, and exterminated. Many who died in the Inquisition were Christians who refused to bow to the RC church.

Unfortunately, some other religion would have.
Humanity's movement past the need to explain everything through stories and hearsay is a slow one that we're still not done with.
If it hadn't been Christianity it probably would have been Roman polytheism.

Wiccans and Pagans might not be called devilworshippers every time we turn around.
BTW - I have no idea why you've got three thumbs downs for this question.
