    Christianity was revolutionary for suggesting that we are all equal in the eyes of the divine and suggesting that you can be forgiven.

      Not a relgious scholar, but which religion taught that people are not equal in the eyes of the divine?

      I could believe the forgiveness thing maybe. Again, not a scholar.

        Many of them as at the time notions of the divine backing whomever was in charge was common. Christianity explicitly states we are all equal in the eyes of God which includes everyone from the unwashed beggar to the emperor of Rome.
