Explanation:
1- Numerous Christians have suffered persecutions by non-Christians and even other Christians of diverse or more or less strict beliefs during the history of Christianity.
Such persecutions had varying degrees of intensity, from unsecured arrest, the decline of public rights, imprisonment, flogging and torture, to execution, called martyrdom, through the payment of a supplementary tax - as the case of the Mozarabs — the confiscation of their property or even the destruction of their property, their art, their books and their symbols or the incitement to renounce their principles and betray other Christians.
2- Buddhism originated in India between the sixth and fourth centuries BC, from where it extended to much of East Asia and declined its practice in the country of origin during the Middle Ages.
3- Ashoka was the third Maurian emperor. He was the son of Bindusara and grandson of Chandragupta. He reigned over most of the Indian subcontinent from circa 269 BC up to 232 BC from present-day Afghanistan to Bengal and also to the south, to present-day Mysore. About 260 BC, conquered Kalinga in a destructive war, which none of his predecessors had achieved. After witnessing the massacres of the war, he gradually converted to Buddhism.
4- Buddhism is a non-theistic "philosophical and spiritual doctrine" belonging to the Dharmic family, derived from Brahmanism and, according to Vedism, of the Nastika type, comprising a variety of traditions, religious beliefs and spiritual practices primarily attributable to Buddha Gautama.
5- Jesus of Nazareth is the central figure of Christianity and one of the most influential of Western culture. Virtually all the historians of Antiquity affirm the historical existence of Jesus. Jesus of Nazareth was a Jewish preacher who lived at the beginning of the first century in the regions of Galilee and Judea, and was crucified in Jerusalem around the year 30, under the government of Pontius Pilate.
6- Christianity emerged from Judaism in the middle of the first century in the Roman province of Judea. The first leaders of the Christian communities were the apostles and their successors the apostolic fathers. This early Christianity spread, despite being a minority and persecuted religion, by Judea, Syria, Europe, Anatolia, Mesopotamia, Transcaucasia, Egypt and Ethiopia.
