Very impressive, my own historical studies of Christianity has lead me to a similar conclusion, there was a very big schism in politics with regards to Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus, and the populist elements of what we now know as Christianity was in many ways about restoring republican rule. There is no wonder how many contradictions there are in a narrative which is written by the enemy.

I think for me it dawned on me when I studied the Greek translation, at that point I understood that the bible had fallen into the wrong hands.
