This is a comprehensive breakdown. I really learnt from your wealth of knowledge on this. In my view and experience, I see that there is a dichotomy between protestant, orthodox and Catholics. In my relationship witt people I decide to stay or leave religion out of the picture.
Well, as you know, these religions are foreign to us. Africans had their religion before the indoctrination of Churches and religion. This helped and enlightened us in many ways, and many could read not only the bible but other things that were useful.

Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism. There were a number of larger and smaller religions in the Mediterranean basin before Christianity was made state religion in the Roman Empire in the 4th century. In Scandinavia, the Vikings had their religion and the Finns had theirs. Christianity was formally adopted as state religion in the Nordic countries in stages beginning the 10th century (first in Denmark).
