As most people know, or should know, the founder of the Christian church was not Jesus, Peter, Paul or James, but the Roman Emperor Constantine.

He ordered ecumenical councils to draft the tennets of the Universal Christian church, which with the exception of some changes made during the divide between the Roman and eastern church, and later in the reformation, still exist today. ( The virgin birth, the devine nature of Christ, the resurrection, etc)

Question:

(Bible thumpers and non secular kooks might want to sit this one out)

What is instead of Christianity, Constantine had mandated the adoption of Hinduism instead ?

How would history have changed ?

Examples:
No crusades ?
The Bubonic plague contained by existing medical procedures which were forbidden by the church at the time ?
No Spanish inquisition ?
What wars would not have taken place ?
Would the western hemisphere been discovered and populated the same way, and would there have been an influx of those fleeing religious (Christian) persecution ?
What would the US look like today, or would it evfen exist ?

Discuss
