    It’s not a cause lmao. Europeans were going to violently colonize the Americas, Africa, and Australia whether they followed Jesus, Buddha, or no one at all. It’s not like the Bible said “hey guys, those people over there don’t have guns, and they’ve got lots of gold”.

      And now you’ve completely lost track of the entire conversation.

      The causal reason that people today use “religious” as shorthand for “Christian” is that the other religions in colonised continents were wiped out or reduced to a few members.

      Argue against what I actually said instead of what you wish I said.
