Hijacked By Jesus - Television Tropes & Idioms

Whether or not you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you must concede that Jesus and Christians have taught about him for 2000 years have dominated western civilization. This is an interesting article about how many myths have been changed - "christianized".

Whenever a fictional story involves a non-Christian mythology, a western adaptation will emphasize the elements most familiar to followers of Christianity. At times, they will be totally rewritten to turn all of the members of the religion into direct analogues of Christian figures.

I like the article and I agree. I think that Christianity has influenced our thinking of everything even how we think of the Greco-Roman, Hindu, Egyptian, and Norse gods. The article is well done. Take a look.
