Interesting books out there on how the New Testament was written by the Roman Emperor Flavius. We was trying to defuse the militant Zealot Jewish movement, hoping to substitute a Jewish movement of "turning the other cheek", so more submissive to Roman rule. The first pope, Clement I, was a Flavius family member. Ever wonder why the religion was headquartered in Rome instead of Judea?

@SonofSethoitae It was the Falvian dynasty. I should have specified Titus. Constantine from the dynasty is the one who made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. The popes prior to Clement are not undisputed history. Some say they were made up. I think the topic requires more inquiry. The Mormon Church was made up by Joseph Smith, a conman who was looking for a new way to make money. There is a decent chance that Christianity was also contrived for secular motives, like political control, and today money and power.
