Christendom

During the sixth and seventh century of Christendom many cultures followed such as Afro-Eurasian reach with flourishing communities in Anatolia, Arabia, Egypt, North Africa, Ethiopia, Nubia, Syria, Armenia, Persia, India, China, as well as Europe.


While many cultures introduced Christianity in their lives in the beginning slowly many started to reshape, African and Asians eliminated, declined, or were marginalized as Christianity became more popular in Europe.

By the 1300 lots of societies many people started to transition from Christianity to to Judaism (Ireland, England, and Russia). 

With this being said Christendom was one of contractions and expansions in Africa and Asia. By the 1500 Asian and African communities started to diminish or dissolve. This main reason was Islam. In Asia only a few Christian groups were present. with the country turning to Muslim views. Also many Christian communities like Syria, Iraq, and Persia abandoned their religious painting and sculptures fearing to offend Muslims. 


The churches were also declining and expanding to Islam. However, in Egypt Christianity continues to remain the main religion around 640. Although it was accepted many people experienced violence, destruction of their churches, and removal from their lands. Many after this converted to Islam. With that being said  there is at least 10% of Christians .

To conclude, with the late 1000, the roles of Eastern and Wester wings of Christendom was hardly on the horizon. Many places like Western Europe would have little comparison with the Byzantine Empire. Even in the 1500 Europe was just catching up with China and Islam world view. 

With this being said I still believe conservative states such as Texas continue to have many families that follow the Christian way, me being a Christian can agree with that. I also see that there are many other religions and it makes sense that there would eventually be a branching out as many cultures started to find their own ways.
