Scenarios about 'christianity'

Christianity is a monotheistic religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, originating in the 1st century CE and becoming one of the world's largest religious traditions. Its development profoundly shaped Western civilization through its influence on art, philosophy, law, and governance structures. In alternate history scenarios, variations in Christianity's spread, denominational development, or theological evolution often serve as pivotal divergence points affecting cultural, political, and social trajectories of civilizations.
