Bari Weiss on Christianity
“Whether you believe in the story of the virgin birth and resurrection, or you believe that those miracles are myths, one thing is beyond dispute: The story of Jesus and the message of Christianity is among the stickiest ideas the world has ever seen.
“Within four centuries of Jesus’s death, Christianity had become the official religion of the Roman Empire. It had 30 million followers – which amounted to half the empire. Today, two millennia later, Christianity is still the largest religion in the world, with more than 2 billion adherents.”
