Christianity is a monotheistic religion which originated from a sect of Judaism, in Middle East. The leader of the sect was Jesus Christ, a legendary man who was renown for his divine wisdom and a number of miracles (which were believed to mostly be the work of the Shroud of Eden). The adherents of Christianity are commonly known as Christians, but during the Crusades, they were also conventionally called Crusaders by their enemies.
During the Reconquista, Spanish Templars were genuinely convinced that the Conception of God in Christianity was the Father of Understanding and that they were doing a divine work by killing off heretics in Spain. [citation needed]
The religion had quickly spread across the world thanks to the Romans, Spaniards and British during the Age of Discovery. [citation needed]
Churches, which are places of worship for this faith, are prominent features in cities which have historically boasted a prominent Christian presence or which have been influenced by Christian / European culture.
As of the 21st century, Christianity is the largest religion within the world and has a huge number of denominations.
