The spirit of the Age

Evil is a strong word. I would say for the skeptic you might be jaded from the examination of Rome's ability to acknowledge "truth" such as was revealed by Galileo or Copernicus has tipped their position of whether the church at that time was more interested in power and dogma, rather than the pursuit of truth and enlightenment.

I would say an analytical approach would review the available documentation in the context of the various periods of organized Christianity. You have the early 1st to 3rd century period focus on the secrecy, persecution and underground church in Rome, Greece, Assyria, and Middle East. This was followed by the liberation of Christians by Constantine, and the subsequent Byzantine Empire up to the early 1200's, then the middle and dark ages up to the dawn of the modern age in early 1600's with the printing press.
