<span>I can't say I know much about the history of Buddhism, but I think I know something about the practice itself. Christianity is a religion of action - a religion that speaks out and acts out. It's a religion that goes to war and asserts itself to gain followers and prove points. From what I understand about Buddhism, it is a 'passive' religion. It is a system of belief that stands on meditation and response rather than reaction. I haven't really heard of any Buddhist groups starting wars, fighting in battles, and singing in victory. Their triumph comes in quiet ways whereas it seems that Christianity triumphed in loud and obvious ways.</span>
The Byzantine Empire is technically a surviving part of the remaining Roman Empire. When the Roman Empire split, the Byzantine Empire managed to last another thousand years. It had its own Orthodox Church. Western Europe was basically dominated by the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church - his word was law. People thought that the Pope knew what God wanted, so whatever the Pope said, the people believed. Both Western Europe and The Byzantine Empire were dominantly Christian, though they did not agree on some things. Both of them traded on the old Silk Road.
