Any non-Christian religions had non-private origins?

May I suggest this after, or even before, you do?

Thanks well I’ve bought it on Kindle now. It looks like the guy is summarising what he is reading and so might be leaving some things out. But I think I’ll watch those videos (perhaps while browsing other things) and look closer at the book in areas that I want to investigate further. BTW the first 10 chapters are section 1 - “Learn to be a detective”.

The Gospel of Mark began as a play performed before an audience. Later, someone who was opposed to it’s storyline altered and expanded it. Christianity has two “founders” … the original author of the play and whoever it wss used it to found his own private religion. Christianity did not come into existence as a consequence of miracles, etc performed by a holy man.
