The suspicion of other causal forces at work manifests in the imaginations of those on the cutting edge of thought, potentially as a consequence of Christianity's victory over paganism, which led to a desacralized worldview.

The Christian metagame emphasizes voluntary self-sacrifice, contrasting with the pagan world's focus on power and hedonism, suggesting a radical shift in values that aligns with human maturation.

As the world became desacralized, the interpretations of invisible agencies and spirits that once explained causal mechanisms lost their validity, leading to a perception that magic was removed from the world.

The rise of Christianity led to the destruction of the pagan world, resulting in a significant epistemological shift where the notion of multiple deities became untenable, consolidating belief into a single monotheistic deity.

The narrative of our creation is often obscured by societal beliefs, but many ancient cultures affirm that we are the product of a divine intervention.

The Christian God has historically been blamed for both slowing down and speeding up scientific progress, reflecting the changing cultural attitudes towards science.

The potential for a religious revival or increased interest in spirituality may arise as society grapples with the implications of AGI and what gives life meaning.

Christianity's appeal to ordinary Romans included the promise of an afterlife, a sense of equal value among all people regardless of status, and the community's commitment to good works, such as caring for the sick and poor.
