It used to be common (the norm) that the King picked the religion for his realm.
Orthodox Christianity still has a close tie to the government - each nation has its own church - Russian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, etc.
I fail to see the great similarity between Catholicism and Islam though.

You can’t be serious!?
1. The perfect *man* who walked the earth and must be emulated.
2. Conversion and conquest by the sword.
3. An institutionalized and insatiable sodomite raping of their own little boys in a religious and/or normalized framework.
4. ABSOLUTE authority.
5. Claims of “true” Abrahamic lineage.
6. Demonic obsession with blood.
7. In The End THEY will reign supreme.
8. Acquisition of ***Jews’*** most Holy sites.
9. Etc.
Talk about a natural alliance! and the Pope himself has embraced Islam and expects his billion plus followers to do the same. Exactly as Prophesied.
Christians and Muslims who believe in False Gods don’t get much in The End.
And now the final similarity: There is no afterlife of infinity of pleasure: No magic carpet rides to Jesus, pre, secret-pre, mid, or post, and no 72 virgins. It is all a sham, to control. What one “gets” in the afterlife depends on what one “gives” in this life and most importantly in what God one believes.
