New Religions
The major events for believers:
300 BC - Alexander the Great conquers the regions from Egypt to Pakistan which are to become Islamic 900 years later.
Around AD 1 (or 4 to 6 BC) - Christ Jesus was born to preach Good News to Israelites.
600 - Islam is established in the south of the regions having been conquered by Alexander the Great 900 years before.
1500 - Judaists are dispelled from most of cities in France, Spain, Portugal, etc.
Columbus discovers America.
Martin Luther launches a Protestant church.
1800 - The Industrial Revolution starts in Western Europe.
The God prepared future Islamic regions by using Alexander the Great. But it took 900 years from the conquest by Alexander to the emergence of Islam. And Europe entered an era of great changes 900 years after establishment of the religion Islam. Around 1500, European Christians started to drive out Judaists from their towns and cities. In addition, Christopher Columbus sailed out from Spain to the Atlantic Ocean to eventually discover America. In this context, America itself can be regarded as a kind of religion. Then 300 years after Columbus, the Industrial Revolution started in the UK and subsequently in Western Europe and North America. In this context, the Industrial Revolution can be regarded as a kind of religion.
In other word, America and the Industrial Revolution are the two new religions which were established after the emergence of Islam.
For example, those living in the US are more believers in the American culture than in any traditional religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. And those living in developed or developing countries today are more believers in modern science and technology than in any traditional religions of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc.
However, devils have been going one better than believers in America and in industrialized countries like they have done in the Judaist, Christian, and Islamic worlds.
