When if the religion is a minority group in the area, there's no real way to exert power outside of like maintaining its authenticity. And you have to do the most pure form if you want to get to heaven. Over here, you can bastardize it a little bit. That's maybe a strong word, but like you can morph it.

Sorry. Don't sin no more. Sorry, or whatever. But you can morph it, and the morphing of it can kind of deteriorate the authenticity of the religion. So what does history say about that?
