What would the world look like today if Judaism and thus Christianity

Like U.S.A. wanted!

Rome would still be around and we'd be on Mars.

Differently.

We be praising Our Lord Jupiter

We would still practice human sacrifice
Polygamy would still be practiced
There would be no scientific revolution
Women wouldn't have any rights

Ireland probably would have unified in the early middle ages and survived to this very day as a semi-relevant small European country similar to the Netherlands or Portugal (well when Portugal was good anyway, otherwise it's already like Portugal).

The Catholic church has always been the greatest nemesis to Ireland.

>Polygamy would still be practised
lol no.

It was the Romans who brought monogamy to the Jews. Not the reverse.

Christianity is nothing more than a footnote to Stoicism anyways. They basically just copy-pasta'd their ethics.

The holy roman empire would have spent the last two thousand years persuading everyone to convert to mithraism or some other politically centralized version of a 1 century mystery cult. The middle east would either have been converted to the state sanctioned religion or there would have been another leader like mohammed that created a similar rival religion.

Europe and Africa would be much worse off. Look how they lived before we, God's Chosen, bathed our light on them. Animals, dancing around fires, raping and killing indiscriminately. We made these people human beings, would anyone else have?

>>2056277
Mostly because they're Catholic.

>>2056287
Africans are religious as fuck and they still do that.

>We made these people human beings, would anyone else have?
No, a society based on atheistic principles probably would have done the right thing and enslaved every last one of them.

mithraism and other mystery religions weren't for exclusive worship even though some of them used monotheistic language. often this was simply identifying the god with the monad, which still allowed for lesser gods that were in the material world just like humans. this idea also doesn't make sense specifically for mithraism because this cult was exclusively for men. hard for an exclusive club for one gender to become a world religion

It would have been a modified, centralized and exclusivist form of mithraism. Maybe somewhat to the old mithraism like orthodoxy is to gnosticism. I don't see why monotheism would have to be an essential part of the religion, so long as the theology is polarizing and justifies the centralization of the "good" powers. It doesn't have to be mithraism either. I was just using that as an example.
