Again, orthodoxy survived because the church ‘minded its own business’ and did not as in the west, start with an attack on the aristocracy and seek to destroy it, but was imposed by the state as a means of governing (administering) the (ignorant) peasantry. The truth is that our pagan religions whether mediterranean, Atlantic, Germanic, Scandinavian, Slavic, or Finnic are far superior in mirroring reality than the semitic. But that the Jesus figure is certainly an ideal if we want to cooperate in large numbers across families, clans, tribes and nations. Not how Orthodoxy emphasizes god (the community), Catholicism Church Dogma (political), and Protestantism the life of Jesus(Personal). It’s fascinating that the religion managed to specialize for what was needed for each. However, only orthodoxy (god, community, organized religion), and evangelical protestantism (Jesus personal, folk religion) will survive, and that catholicism (political) has devolved into money-seeking traitor to european civilization and now selling indulgences to the superstitious underclasses.
