@HistoPol @paninid @Outmazi That's the goal. I am still collecting data. I have played with epidemiology models and gravity models. The goal is to build a #ChronoDendrogram of the spread of religious thought. I got tired adding the religions of the Parents of the founders and got more tired trying to collect the corpus of religious texts. My profile on #Xhitter is of the formation of #TheBible and other foundational texts.
@HistoPol @paninid @Outmazi I am leaning toward Bayesian Analysis but need to collect the elements that probably contribute to how religious thought spreads. An example, Martin Luther Rebelled and according to one account, Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the door of All Saints' Church in Wittenberg on 31 October 1517.

I have not had to much statistics, so IDK Bayesian Analysis but I am quite interested in your future findings.
I'm not sure if there is only one method/way how religious thoughts spread and in our social-media global-network society it might even be different nowadays, but looking at the new testament, traveling "missionaries" and letters to "communities" of believers (by the apostles e.g.) seem to have been a means of transmission.
In a state religion,...

...such as #Atenism, i.e. a #theocracy, it different. Echnaton provided images of him and his royal wife, Nefertiti, to the homes of his subjects and, like other pharaos, and sponsored a lot of buildings with inscriptions.
