Who said "lawless"? I consider Christianity to be lawful evil.
What part of “That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another” do you consider evil?

Judaism blended with classical Greek thought in Christianity, Christianity then blended with the might makes right Roman state, from there power politics and the obvious advantages for leaders of having a populace who believe being humble and submissive is a good thing were some reasons behind the Christian takeover of Europe. Druidical and other pagan religions before that were pretty organised, they had their own monuments, traditions, calendars, legends etc, they just lost out to a religion backed by more military and political power.
Why hasn't the West (Europe, the Americas etc.) produced any religions the likes of Islam or Zoroastrianism?
Great questions.Why are all major religions from the East?
Even historically, Rome was full of Mirtha-worshippers and Manichaeans.

I'm not talking about small Pagan religions followed by a small amount of people who are essentially re-inventing it.
We just didn't seem to create anything on that scale and pass it along.

Eradicated may be overstating it somewhat. I’m not getting your point though, what does this have to do with the post you responded to?According to the Roman Historian Tacitus, Agricola eradicated the Druids from Britain in 70 AD, hundreds of years before Rome became Christianised.

That's not Christianity.
It isn't even ideal Christianity in theory.
It's one verse out of many, and certainly doesn't sum up Christianity as a whole.You mean it’s not an aspect of Christianity that sustains your personal prejudice?
It’s a piece of scripture which is central to most Christian theologies.
According to Pharaoh Merneptah, Israel was laid to waste at the end of the 13 century B.C.E.According to the Roman Historian Tacitus, Agricola eradicated the Druids from Britain in 70 AD, hundreds of years before Rome became Christianised.
Like what?The post I responded to was full of inaccuracies and false assumptions.
No, you didn’t. You just didn’t read it properly before responding.I just pointed out the most obvious of these.
Hardly major religions though.I consider Greece to be part of the West. I also consider Rome to be part of the West. To this day, we who speak English call the days of the week after Greek and Roman gods. Many English words come from those gods as well. So I would say they live on. And they are from the West.
Just the first thing that popped into my head reading the OP.
You don't think so? I do.Hardly major religions though.
Who is worshipping in these temples today? Now?You don't think so? I do.
Not many people now, but the earth has been around and humans have lived in it for a very long time. At one point, these were major religions and they came from the West.Who is worshipping in these temples today? Now?
