@ halogamer: I'm pretty familiar with christianity (Catholiciscm). What I meant was the foundational religious doctrines and not what the religions have evolved or changed into.

Usually when I refer to Christianity I mean the teachings of the Bible and the early Catholic church. I don't want to discuss the liberalization of Christianity becasue it has definitely changed forms over the years. For example the acceptance of material wealth, covetousness and pride. From what I remember of my Catechism days...those go against pretty important tenets.

Of course religion has always changed to remain palatable society.

Imagine if priests were demanding that one sold all his/her worldly goods and lived the eremetic lifestyle to be delivered salvation...it wouldn't work. Originally though, this was done.

That's basically what I meant is the infancy of these religions.
