@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.

"Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the door of All Saints' Church in Wittenberg on 31 October 1517."
I only had some religious studies, but this is exactly what I learned. Why only "one account?"
@paninid @Outmazi
@HistoPol @paninid @Outmazi There are multiple accounts and many doubts depending on which version of History one chooses. That's part of why I want to use Bayesian Analysis and have looked at #PeterTurchin 's #SeshatProject

Ok, you're right
I just checked at the source, who'd rather have it, so the German Lutheran Church.
It says, "It is not certain whether #Luther posted them there as pamphlets on October 31, 1517. But the #theologian brought his critical theses to the public, and they were soon translated from Latin into German, printed, distributed, and discussed throughout the country."

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.

@HistoPol @paninid @Outmazi Interestingly, working through my founders table, my idea of religious transmission had to expand a couple of times to include TV, Radio, and online evangelism. I am a #RabidAtheist.
@surrealnative @HistoPol @paninid @Outmazi Thanks for this. There are many corpus collections. Google was working on a Biblical one. There are many private collections but most have agendas that they are spreading and want to collect coins in the process.
@surrealnative @HistoPol @paninid @Outmazi As an example, I started to look at the comparison of Biblical texts and when the word Homosexuality entered the dialog. It wasn't until 1957. It was an English version and it just happens to coincide with the Kinsey Report and religious fundamentalists reacting to its release.

@HistoPol @paninid @Outmazi @surrealnative Gents, I gotta take a break. Cooking dinner. Sometimes politics and religion bum me out. I leave you with this #ArtAndMusicGiveMeHope https://youtu.be/XWvw_uZPGDA?feature=shared
