we have the best cult leaders

The roman empire thought so, they changed their name to "holy" roman empire to co-opt the movement.

Kind of like BLM and corporate america.

Except corporate america is retarded because BLM is evil trash.

The Holy Roman Empire was nether Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire.

Maybe the most effective cult, but that doesn't make them "best".

Russian princes wanted to choose a religion to strengthen their power over the masses. They considered several, including Judaism and Islam, but went with Greek Christianity because they liked the decor.

The roman empire thought so, they changed their name to "holy" roman empire to co-opt the movement.

That was a whole nother empire, centered on Germany - "Roman" in metaphor only.
