And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man....
Romans 1:23
Evidence for Nominal Christianities Dominance within Christendom through history....just can't shake their Roman Empire ancestors Paganism....
"Bellona was an ancient Roman goddess of war. Her main attribute
is the military helmet worn on her head; she often holds a sword, spear, or shield, and brandishes a torch or whip as she rides into battle in a four-horse chariot. She had a temple near the Theater of Marcellus.
Bellona was originally an ancient Sabine goddess of war identified with Nerio, the consort of the war god Mars, and later with the Greek war goddess Enyo. Her temple in Rome was dedicated in 296 BC near the Circus Flaminius by Appius Claudius Caecus, during the war with the Etruscans and Samnites.
Her festival was celebrated on 3 June, and her priests were known as Bellonarii and used to wound their own arms or legs as a blood sacrifice to her. These rites took place on 24 March, called the day of blood (dies sanguinis), after the ceremony.
Roman votaries of the war-goddess Bellona cut themselves and drank this sacrificial blood to propitiate the deity.
The priests flogged themselves until they bled and sprinkled their blood upon the image and the altars in the sanctuary, while others are said to have imitated Attis by castrating themselves."
Q: Weren't most French "Christians" in 1879?
"Auguste Rodin's sculpture of a head of Bellona (1879) originally was created for a monument to the French Third Republic and 
shows even more belligerence. Modelled on his mistress Rose Beuret while in a bad mood, the head is drawn back in proud anger, turning in dynamic movement to look along the line of her right shoulder."
Q: Weren't most English and Germans from Hanover in 1763, and most French and Anglo Canadians in 1862 "Christians"?
"The Temple of Bellona, designed by William Chambers for Kew Gardens in 1760, was projected as a celebration of the Anglo-Hanoverian war effort during the Seven Years' War and eventually housed plaques honoring the regiments that served in it. These, however, related primarily to remembrance of victory rather than of the fallen. It was not until a century afterward that the French-Canadian victims of the Seven Years War were commemorated by a monument at Quebec. Atop a tall column on the site of the battlefield, Bellona looks down, carrying a shield and laurel crown in her right hand. The statue was presented by Jérôme-Napoléon in 1862 as a gesture of reconciliation."
Q: Weren't Most people in Brussels in the late middle ages "Christians"?
"Batholomaeus Spranger's "Bellona Leading the Imperial Armies 
against the Turks" played its part in Austria's anti-Turkish propaganda during the Long Turkish War. A later phase of the continuing conflict, culminating in victory at the battle of Zenta in 1697, is marked by Jean Cosyn's celebratory doorway in Brussels in what now is known as the Maison de Bellone, at the center of which presides the helmeted bust of the goddess surrounded by military standards and cannons."
Q: Didn't most Polish in 1920 identify as "Catholic Christians"?
"....in the Bialystok memorial to the dead in the Polish–Soviet War in 1920, she stands behind a soldier and holds aloft a laurel crown."
