On one hand, I was never a fan of Christianity, and see it as just as much as a Middle Eastern invasion as Judaism and Islam are.

But on the other, it's obvious that whatever else will fill the vacuum could be much, much worse and lead to further cultural rot.

I honestly wish Europe had stuck to its own native religions instead of having to rely on these forced imported ones.

Or even better, create a new religion that supports blood and soil, like what Ben Klassen did.

You can't "create a new religion". A true religion can be revealed by a Prophet from God, but not invented. Following an invented religion which everyone believes to be invented is just stupid LARP. I have more respect for atheists than pagan LARPers.

Also, no one forced Christianity on England. The Anglo-Saxon kings were willingly converted to Christianity by Christian monks, beginning with King Ethelbert of Kent who converted shortly after Augustine of Canterbury's mission arrived in 597. And regardless if you are a Christian or not, it's obvious that Christianity had a positive influence on many aspects of civilization, especially when it came to family life, regulating sexuality, and keeping a check on social violence. Ever since Christianity has been overtaken by its heretical grandchildren like Liberalism and Communism, Western civilization has gone to shit.

Interesting how most of the things you mentioned Christianity doing are not found anywhere in the Bible. Even the sexual rules mostly turn out to be mistranslations or misinterpretations.

At some point the LARP becomes real. Christianity was a unpopular desert cult that only became successful because a Roman emperor forced it upon its subjects and the peoples they conquered. The council of Nicaea is the ultimate LARP of a bunch of people convening around what books would be curated into what is called the bible. The people that create the religion are faking it while it is real for the followers.

I myself reject the Nicene Creed and consider it to be theological corruption, but yes, a religion can still "work" if only a handful of people know that the creed is fake while the rest of society genuinely believes in the religion without knowing or caring about the fine points of theology and any possible corruption that might have taken place. But it's pretty much impossible for a phenomenon like that to exist in the modern world.

Christianity was a cult based on Greek philosophy and popular around the Mediterranean, not in the desert.
