Religion and stuff


(The Black guy is the collapse of the Han and Roman empires while the hippo is organized religion)

I think religion became a defining feature in world history during this time period because the lack of a strong, centralized ruling body (The Roman/Han Empires) caused a void of authority in the world at the time. Anarchy descended on the world, but it wasn't a Joker-style anarchy with blood and violence but anarchy because people where living their own lives with the only guidelines being religious doctrines and stuff.

  1. So, according to your picture, organized religion became a force to destabilize the Han and Roman Empires? That the political order collapsed because the religious drive was too overpowering? Is that it? Or, did you just like the picture?
