Eastward Faith

from What If? – A Journey Through Alternate Histories

In this alternate timeline, early Christian missionaries focus on Persia, India, and China rather than Europe. The religion evolves by blending with Zoroastrian, Hindu, Buddhist, and Confucian traditions, producing diverse theological interpretations and philosophical forms of Christianity. Meanwhile, Western Europe remains religiously fragmented or influenced by Islam for longer. Christianity becomes an Asian-centered faith, shifting global cultural and religious influence away from Europe and toward the great civilizations of the East.
