Im convinced of the exact opposite. I think that Christianity was a Roman psy-op that was designed to pacify a rebellious occupied Judea. Things that the new testament explicitly instructs worshippers to do include:

Don't seek material wealth or power, those who do so are evil.

Remain meek and nonviolent, don't seek liberation, and after you die you'll get everything you would have wanted on earth and more.

Pool your resources and take care of yourselves and each other, but still pay your taxes.

When Roman soldiers attack you, don't fight back.

That's a pretty interesting theory
