Epona, while what you say has validity, in all my study of history (religious and otherwise), Fable is closer to what I've discovered in the Christianity vs. Pagan arena. Not *all* early church fathers were as fanatic and destructive, of course, but a good many were. And they were very charismatic, which meant they were able to rouse the common folk into a riotous frenzy bent on the throwing down of the 'demons' of the Old Ways and the 'cleansing' of the land for the glory of Christ. Read particularly some accounts of the approach of the first milennium (actually seems to have run on a 500 year cycle).
