Christianity reached the South via missionaries (not that kind) wayyy before the Odd Millennia ever started at all, and before colonization or bloodshed
Many missionaries that came to the South before colonization were extremely peaceful and some of them were even martyred
culture… religion, yeah sure, youre right, but they do go hand in hand.
And I guess your faith shouldnt depend on where one is born, but chrisanity’s goal has always been to “spread” thier religion whether the people want it or not.
For a long time (and arguably still today), what religion you follow is heavily dependent on where you are born.
Which is why I asked what exsisted before the missionaries came to the americas.

yeah, our job is to inform people, not to force them at all
is it why the history of before the missionaries and colonizers is so cloudy?
because the colonizers did their best to erase it? And seem to be successful in such?
In history, they did force it.
