All other informal historical discussion, ancient or modern, falls here. This includes the topics of Islam, Buddhism, and other religious traditions.

Christianity and Feudalism

Post by Clive »

Read a fascinating comment in Norman Gear The Divine Demon, that xianity is actually the religion of feudalism, and its high point was under the Sun King, with the French Revolution as the beginning of its end.

I thought that was a fascinating way to categorise religions, as core parts of political structures.
