A Greek Researcher has investigated the history of his country and found a lot of evidence of genocidal activities by the Romans. He concludes that the spread of Christianity was effected by cultural appropriation, genocidal persecution and structural destruction.

Do we Africans disagree? But the Romans included Black People like Emperor Constantine who legalized persecution of Black Religions that were the foundation components of Christianity. Churches replaced Temples, at the surface.

314 Immediately after its full legalization, the Christian Church attacks the gentiles (non-Christians). The Council of Ancyra denounces the worship of Goddess Artemis.
