Origin:

     Christianity grew out of Judaism and began as a Second Temple Judaic sect in the mid-1st century. Early Christianity and Early Rabbinical Judaism were significantly influenced by Hellenistic religion and philosophy. Originating in the Roman province of Judea, it quickly spread to Europe, Syria, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Transcaucasia, Egypt, Ethiopia and the Indian subcontinent, and by the end of the 4th century had become the official state church of the Roman Empire. Following the Age of Discovery, Christianity spread to the Americas, Oceania, sub-Saharan Africa and the rest of the world through missionary work and colonization.
