Monotheism leads to Atheistic Materialism
Meanwhile, what has become of man’s relationship to nature? Monotheism sucks all the mystery out of nature and injects it into God, who is the “explanation” for nature. While polytheism, through the worship of many gods, affirms the life and mystery of the world in all its complexity, monotheism declares the world to be a mere artifact, the product of God’s making, and thus about as living and mysterious as a thumbtack. The transition from polytheism to monotheism is the “de-godding” of the different aspects of the world.
Monotheists therefore progressively cede the complexity of creation to the natural scientist. And what happens to their God as a result of this? The natural scientist need make no reference to God in any of his investigations of nature. The entire material world is (so he supposes) understandable by science on its own terms. Eventually, scientists and others realize that this is the case and God essentially becomes a deus otiosus. God becomes a dispensable “hypothesis” that does no work in explaining the world. The scientist then steps in to take God’s place.
The scientist recognizes that the world exhibits an intelligible order, but without God to underwrite creation, the natures of things no longer seem so “fixed.” John Locke founded his doctrine of individual rights (life, liberty, and property) on the idea that man’s nature is created by God. Remove belief in God and the status of man’s nature—and his rights—becomes highly questionable. Less than two hundred years later the followers of Marx (e.g. Trotsky) explicitly declared their intention to change human nature through “scientific socialism.” The result to the supposed “rights” of men is well-known.
Thus, in the absence of God (or the gods) the scientists come to believe that they can radically, infinitely alter what they study. Since there is no God, there is no reason to believe in the soul, or in any non-physical reality. Human beings are therefore simply a highly complex form of meat, which can be studied and manipulated using the same methods we use to study and manipulate other meat.
Since there is no non-physical reality, there are no objective or eternal ideals. Truth is “posited” by human beings.[9] This must mean, then, that moral idealism is a delusion. Men who exhibit the quality Plato called “spiritedness,” men who are ready to fight for ideals, are simply sick or deluded. This position was explicitly put forward in the twentieth century by the so-called Frankfurt School of sociology.[10] Modern “humanism”—modern science and psychology—considers a person “normal” if his concerns do not rise above the level of what Plato called “appetite”: concern with the satisfaction of desires and the maintenance or attainment of security and comfort. Hence the almost complete disappearance of terms like “honor,” “nobility,” and “self-sacrifice” from modern discourse.[11]
Here again, we see Will manifested: the closing off to anything “higher” than the self and the setting up of personal desire-fulfillment as the end of existence. But human beings cannot live entirely without ideals, and so a new ideal is created: the achievement of a society in which everyone’s desires are satisfied, in which physical security, comfort and health are perfectly realized. Having cut themselves off from any higher aspiration, scientists rush to place themselves in the service of this ideal.
And so, to come back to the beginning, what is the ultimate result of monotheism? Atheism, the violation of nature, the destruction of ideals, the destruction of morals, the barbarization of men, the eradication of human dignity, and the general debasement of human life (what is called “materialism”).

In Rome, Christians were the ones violating the law, yet are taught today they were "persecuted victims".
In Caesarea, a judge dared to rule against a Christian bishop. He compounded his crime in the eyes of the Church by then declaring that everyone, whether they were Christian or not, should yield to the rule of law. He came to regret it. A mob of Christians, “like a hive roused by smoke,” surged around, “torch in hand, amid showers of stones, with cudgels ready, all ran and shouted together in their united zeal.” It was an effective technique. As one gloating Christian recorded: “What then was the conduct of this haughty and daring judge? He begged for mercy in a pitiable state of distress, cringing before them to an unparalleled extent.” This, the chronicler concluded with satisfaction, “was the doing of the God of Saints, Who works and changes all things for the best.”36
It did not seem to be “for the best” to many non-Christians. Elite writers expressed their disgust at the disorder. As the philosopher Celsus had observed so many years before, one should not defile the laws because if everyone did so it would be impossible for the law to function at all. The sort of intimidation that zealous Christians indulged in was not, another writer protested, the way that crime and punishment should work in the Roman Empire. “Nobody draws his sword against the murderer and puts it to his throat, employing force in place of the forms of law,” said the orator Libanius. Instead, in a civilized society, “the place of swords is taken by impeachments and processes, civil and criminal.” The Christians, he wrote with disdain, seemed to have no time for that: “these people here were the only ones ever to judge the cases of those whom they accuse and, having passed judgement, themselves to play the hangman’s part.”37

The Crusades only happened due to pagan elements that Christians were unable to repress
The Northern Dawn, Stephen E. Flowers
Instead of directly confronting this opposing value system and attempting to radically transform it—an approach which almost certainly would have resulted in an immediate rejection of Christianity—the missionaries apparently sought to redefine the Germanic virtues of strength, courage, and loyalty in such a manner that would reduce the incompatibility with Christian values, while at the same time “inculturating” Christian values as far as possible to accommodate the Germanic ethos and world-view.
Historically, the whole idea of a “war for Christ” seems problematic. What is the origin of the Crusader ideology? At least one prominent theory holds that the Crusades represented an outgrowth of Germanic values then embedded in Christianity. Carl Erdmann writes: “The church was therefore confronted with a massive barrier of pagan ways, which for centuries were beyond its power to master.”54

The Renaissance of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries was precisely that: a re-birth. “What it involved,” as Renan said, “was seeing antiquity face-to-face.” This rebirth was no journey backward or a simple resurgence of the “past,” but on the contrary the point of departure for a new spiritual adventure, a new adventure of the Faustian soul that was now triumphant because it had awakened to itself. Nor is neo-paganism today a regression either. On the contrary, it is the deliberate choice of a more authentic, harmonious, and powerful future—a choice that projects into the future, for new creations, the Eternal from which we come.

"Myth is not prehistory; it is timeless reality, which repeats itself in history. Our century's rediscovery of meaning in myth is a favorable sign. Even today a man is lead by strong powers far into the sea, far into the desert and their mask worlds. The journey will lose its menace once the divine power is recalled."

The Ultima Ratio Of The Lie
"Christianity can only be understood on the soil where it grew,—it is not a counter-movement to the Jewish instinct, it is its natural consequence, a further conclusion drawn by its terrifying logic. In the formula of the redeemer, 'salvation comes from the jews.'"
"In Christianity, all of judaism, a several-century-old jewish preparatory training and technique of the most serious kind, attains its ultimate mastery as the art of lying in a holy manner. The Christian, the ultima ratio of the lie, is the jew once more—even three times a jew."
"This is precisely why the Jews are the most disastrous people in world history: they have left such a falsified humanity in their wake that even today Christians can think of themselves as anti-jewish without understanding that they are the ultimate conclusion of judaism."
Friedrich Nietzsche (The Anti-Christ)

In antiquity, identity was comprehensive, encompassing both your cultural heritage, race, language and your gods. The term for this blend of nationality and spirituality is ethnos(plural ethnē). For example, the Jews, as one ethnos, had Yahweh, while the Greeks had Zeus.
Ethnikos refers to something pertaining to an ethnos—this could mean characteristics, customs, or even an individual member of that group.
In the bible Gentile/Nations/Heathen/Pagan are all translations from these same greek roots ethnos/ethnikos.
Whats amazing about the bible is it takes this neutral term and changed it to mean everyone outside of the jewish/yahweh world view. Ethnē or "nations", now meant everyone outside of the jewish covenant (which christians were "grafted into"). This was insane to all intelligent people at the time. Suggesting there are no nationalities, only ONE with the jewish god, surely would have been considered an extremely aggressive and arrogant assault on everyone's heritage.
The word pagan didn’t initially refer specifically to religion like it does today. It described an entire cultural identity—an ethnos—distinct from the emerging universalist Yahweh-centric worldview.
Thats why the word "ethnic" comes from the same word "ethnikos", and was used interchangeably with pagan/gentile until post world war 2(!).
Christianity was not an innocent spirituality shift, it was a full on attack on every ethnic/cultural identity outside of the jewish one.

Martin Luther is often praised by "halfway there" Christians for taking many actions against jewish corruption. But he also was for killing European heretics and horrible torture methods.
This is the best example of controlled opposition, because it shows even when Christians act to fight jewish corruption in the most explicit example most of them dream about, they are still benefiting jews by pushing their god and Torah and of course, the NT poisoning.
No matter what, the jews always win. Whether they remain physically in power in an area, or they are driven out, the Judaism agenda is still being carried out to destroy all non-jewish ethnos.
