So, there have been a ton of threads on butterflying away Christianity and/or Islam on this forum. And these mostly result in the Mediterranean religious atmosphere becoming basically East Asia, with pagan cults for the masses and esoteric intellectual philosophy for the elite, bound together by some Greek metaphysics of one kind or another.
So I was wondering about a possible reversal of that trend: What would have to happen to create an East Asia which has a far more universalist worldview, one where religion and philosophy are more closely bonded as part of a unified whole, and are far more exclusive in their doctrines? And what would such an East Asia look like?
