You mention that the Egyptians, did not believe in one God, this is an excerpt on Egyptian monotheism
"The Ancient Egyptians believed in One God who was self-produced, self-existent, immortal, invisible, eternal, omniscient, almighty, etc."
Also, Christianity has been responsible for many acts of violance against ethnic groups who where different from Europeans like the Mesoamericans. The Spaniards in the 15th century would smash the Indian children against the walls, in the the name of the "Holy Catholic Church". These barbarous acts were more like the Nazis towards the Jews, also in the name of Christianity not to mention the Spanish inquisitions where they were burning women alive.
Of course, I don't buy this whole scheme. Why is da Pope is treated like some powerful politician, with agents running along side him. Why is he afraid of being assassinated? Does not he want to go to heaven? Did Jesus run when the guards came for him? Did he have body guards, or did he live in a palace surrounded with expensive paintings and gold?
The Catholic church teaches that only through poverty, you can enter their so called "Heaven" yet they live and eat like Kings!!!
The Catholic Church can be blamed for the mind-set people have in Latin America, because that is their propaganda. It was, is a way to keep people under control, well - you know that saying...religion is the opium of the masses - forgot who said this but it's true...
