here it is OP
>proto-indo-european mythology spreads to middle east
>middle east is now a melting pot of hundreds of gods and local beliefs
>one group of sand people start to claim that one god (yahweh) is the king of them all, better than el or baal or asherah or ishtar
>this elite semitic group gets powerful and demonizes all the other gods
>they write the bible over the course of hundreds in dedication to their newly apointed god king, though they base much of their story from preexisting semitic mythologies like gilgamesh and the baal cycle
>this is the birth of judaism
>promotes this monotheism over all other traditions and succeeds in spreading it throughout most of the region
>eventually one jew claims himself to be the son of god and creates his own philosophy
>gets killed for being heretical (in the eyes of the hebrews)
>many years later his new followers write about him and add these collections of writings to the hebrew bible
>le christiany is born
>fast forward to roman and medieval times
>whitoids start to incorporate pagan elements from their native relgions into christianity, birthing holidays and traditions that were never originally there in the first place
tl;dr christianity, like all religions, is just a wacky mixture of prexisting beliefs
