Notes
Religious/Social

8000 BCE – 600 CE
The major religion still held in Europe is still
Christianity, and has being since the religion
started. It has being a major religion mostly
since it spread through Europe and attracted
a lot of more then the other starting
religions. It was more attracting to people
because it showed that if you were good in
life you would wind up in a good place when
you died. The people who still do most of
the reading from the holy bible are the
priests, but still other people read it today.
Even though the religion is polytheistic,
people of the religion still pray to other
messengers of God. For one example is
Mary or the Holy spirit. The religion tells
people how to live your life correctly, since it
tells you to be good to others. Some books
still used today are the bible, both old and
new testament

Changes
Today the main changes are that
people got more freedom n reading the
books of the religion, because in the past
people relied on priests to read to them
since of being illiterate. Also now there is
more access to churches, instead of having
to travel some distance. Moreover people
are now changing some rules for example
the rule of a priest not being able to marry.
