Abstract

The evolution of the belief system was a remarkable shift in people’s consciousness, however, the physical phenomena also originated from the variation of consciousness, Therefore, this paper observes the similarities they share in certain circumstances. It questions why the belief system in the West changed from a great variety of polytheism to Christianity and whether any similarities are shared within certain social events. Based on the research about the different systems of mythologies, historical events with religious relations, and crucial individuals who took part in the shift, it concludes that the change in social existence leads to the transformation of people’s expectations, and they finally end up by abandoning the old gods and adopting Christianity. Furthermore, due to the active outspread of Christianity, it finally replaced other belief systems in the West and became the dominant religion, further expanding its influence in the world.
