“But the ones listed do not codify the enslavement and murder of Biblical Christians, as far as I know.”

Actually, yes. I didn’t list all of the pagan religions I could have. A few are:

The Roman Empire: Polytheistic Romans killed thousands of Christians. Emperors like Nero, Decius, and Diocletian required citizens to sacrifice to traditional Roman gods, viewing Christian refusal as treason and a threat to state security. This led to mass public executions, such as throwing Christians to beasts in arenas.

The Sasanian Empire (Zoroastrianism): During the 4th and 5th centuries, Persian Zoroastrian rulers persecuted the Christian minority. Because Christianity was the official religion of the rival Roman Empire, Persian monarchs viewed Christians within their borders as potential traitors, resulting in waves of executions and martyrdoms.

Early Germanic and Slavic Pagans: In the early medieval period, various polytheistic tribes killed Christian missionaries and raiders. For example, during the Wendish Crusade in the 12th century, Slavic pagans in the region of modern-day Germany actively resisted Christianization, resulting in the deaths of missionaries like Bishop John of Mecklenburg.

And of course islam is a given starting in the 6th century.

There are more.

Well, then, there is the elephant in the room.

The Roman Catholic Institution, which is also a theocracy.

There is history that this institution actually began Islam.

Vaticanus literally means “Hill of the Soothsayer”.

What a surprise.

Mormonism. Islam for Westerners.
Except that the LDS church is claiming to be biblical Christians.

“Why are Islam and Mormonism so similar?
Because the devil forgot to check Google Calendar for birthdays, apparently.”
