    My memory of world history might be a bit rusty, but didn't Jesus not formally organize Christianity? Isn't it his disciples who did it after his death so in a sense, Christianity would be a religion created by man. Its principles may be based off of (supposedly) divine principles, but Jesus was considered a Jew until his death.

    Thus, in a sense, Man can't have a negative impact on Christianity if it was first created by man
