> Christianity and Islam are equal a religion of humility founded by a carpenter who willingly went to his death "is equal" to a religion of conquest founded by a warlord who murdered hundreds, raped women, and !@#-ed children ok, sure https://twitter.com/LaloDagach/status/1206643434913746944 …
so because the state painted crosses on shields in 313, the CHRISTIAN RELIGION "looked nothing like that". Priests were no longer ascetics, the doctrine of "turn the other cheek" was renounced, charity was no longer spoken of as a virtue, religious official urged holy wars?

You know, I'm not saying everybody, or even necessarily the majority. I'm referring to those in power, those most visible. Of course there has been a monastic/esoteric/charitable tradition in Christianity throughout history.

you've changed your thesis. Your started with "the dominant version of Christianity", and now you're talking about how the State reconciled its own aims with pro-forma Christianity. Anything a state says supports statism. A communist state is not a 10 person commune.
