George Stanley McGovern (D-SD) Representative From South Dakota's First Congressional District (1957-1963) United States Senator from South Dakota (1963-1977) Vice-President of the United States (1977-1981) President of the United States (1989-1997) McGovern doesn't run in 1972 and instead is...

This is a fair enough question, but I highly doubt we see the same amount of support for Christian Socialism that we saw for Marxism. I won't claim to know how the Church worked in the 1800s but I highly doubt that the leaders become Christian Socialists, and without that, it'd be harder to...

I was referring to the American/western leaders of the discourse (no, I am not accusing them of conspiracy or of acting in bad faith). Obviously Soviet Marxist-Leninist were not the ones that were allowed to disseminate their understanding of Marxism in America- it was the Americans who sought...

To address the portion of the question about the creation of ITTL secular/capitalist and religious/socialist political dichotomies, I don’t see why this would happen necessarily because IOTL it doesn’t always shake out that way.

At risk of delving into current politics, I don’t think that what you said negates what I said with regards to the OPs post. In fact, I basically agree with your point. All I’m saying is that the rise of the USSR and the subsequent Cold War, and the discourse had throughout it, is what had...

I highly doubt it amounts to anything, especially considering that Marxism is an extremely explicit ideology that has very specific goals, including the eventual abolition of the state, money, and social class. Butterflying Marxism gets rid of these ideas in a unified fashion. This does not mean...

Could the East Slavic religion survive? Their religion was at least partially codified towards the end of its life wasn't it?

A surviving Donatism could lead to some very cool butterflies I think!

Why did it die out?

That's what I'm talking about! Cool stuff, ty for sharing

You don't think that they'd assimilate over time? Well, I suppose that America's freedom of religion clause prevents that so maybe it is possible!

What I mean by that is, what are the most likely places in which we could see OTL religions in places that they are not associated with nowadays? An obvious example (and therefore one that we can overlook) would be Islam in Spain. Could we have plausibly seen any prominent contemporary OTL...

With a POD not before Jan 01, 1500 or after Jan 01, 1600, what happens if Russia doesn't expand much past the Ural Mountains? Let's not discuss how or why this happens, let's just take it as fact that Russia is almost entirely located west of the Ural Mountains. What implications does this have...

So we'd potentially see Christianity flourishing only really in central Europe (and I guess Britain/Scandinavia as well) ITTL? What if the Muslims eventually took up to northern Italy (and thus Rome) as you mentioned could happen?

And this is finally getting to more or less where I wanted this discussion to go! Thank you What happens to Christianity ITTL? The Pope?
