Sorry Jerry, with respect I disagree,  For instance over the past
century the modes of transport, communication, education  and freedom
of expression allowed in numerous non muslim countries world wide
which numerous new age religions took advantage of,  to propagate
their religious views (JW's Mormons, Bahais etc) was unheard  of in
early centuries of Christianity. Taking into consideration the three
centuries of persecution christians suffered under the Roman Empire it
would take a team of professional religious historians to enter into a
joint project of study and come up with a result to find an
answer..................Errol
