Religion and Culture. Seems like a simple concept to understand, but it is more complex than what one may perceive it to be. Each and every culture/ religion has their own very strong history background. If one wanted to learn every thing about a specific culture/religion, he/she would find that they all tend to connect with each other.
For example, Christianity, seems to be the most common and popular form or religion. However, in my opinion as having learned about this religion in a couple of history classes, I would say Europeans are the ones who practically forced everyone to practice this faith. We have been taught that Christianity originated somewhere in Europe. The Europeans were the ones who wanted to expand. They would invade a country and introduce their customs. Eventually they would say that their (Europeans) way of living and religion is the correct form.
That is how religion spreads in my opinion. You go into a country, introduce your customs and believes, try to convince them your believes are the right ones.
