This MythVision conversation explores one of the most important questions about the history of religion: how do small religious movements become major world religions?
Dr. Price examines the powerful relationship between religion, government, culture, warfare, social control, and political authority, arguing that state support played a major role in the expansion of many ancient religious systems.
The discussion moves from Judaism and the ancient concept of the “sacred canopy” to Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Constantine, Theodosius, King Ashoka, and Muhammad. The conversation also explores how conquered peoples sometimes adopted aspects of the religions and rituals of their conquerors.
Derek Lambert and Dr. Price also discuss atheism, religious pluralism, Christian fundamentalism, evangelism, deconstruction, and the difficult relationship between believers and non-believers.
Why did some religions become global movements while others remained small?
Did political power help religion spread?
What happened when Christianity became connected to the state?
And can religion remain powerful after society loses its shared “sacred canopy”?
This conversation challenges conventional assumptions about the origins and expansion of the world's major religions.
Watch until the end for a fascinating discussion about religion, power, atheism, and the forces that shape human societies.
