Zebraji, Without disagreeing with what you have written, i think the continuing survival and even flourishing of these religions is a result of their success in capturing people's minds. So the mental aspect cannot be overlooked. For example, take the case of destruction the ISIS brought on Yazidis; unthinkable for us, but you can see widespread sympathy for Islam even more than what you see for the Yazidi people. At best, people would condemn what ISIS did but would never fail to add that ISIS does not represent true Islam etc When it comes to criticising excesses of these religions people tend to equivocate. Such is the power of propaganda. This propaganda is possible through money and power. That is all that matters in the end, i guess.

Chinese invented the Gun Powder, they too were conquered.
Buddhism was not spread because of force but because of persuasion.
The Greek and Roman empires collapsed, they were very powerful in their hay days.

All kingdoms fail when they do not integrate the people who live in that territory.

Religious Zealots will bring any country down.

 

[CHANDRU1849]

Religious Zealots will bring any country down.

If this is true, countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, Syria etc. would have perished long back.

Religious Zealots' survival is dependent on people's support. Certain Religions preach strong religious affinity right from childhood.

Once the hold of a tyrant (religious, military, or goonda) all those preaching evaporate overnight.
