The Roman Empire became Christian eventually and lasted in the East as Byzantium until the Renaissance. The Byzantine empire was an organic society for the better part of its existence. It's system of government was called a symphony - rule by both the Church and the state where both complement each other, symbolized by the double-headed eagle (compare that with the single headed eagle which denotes totalitarian centralization of power). The mind control psy ops and deceptions began after that due to mercantilization and banking which the jews gladly took up. Usury was criminalized in Christian states before that because it's considered sinful.
