Taking into consideration cultural-religious macro-areas and not their manifold local variations, I’ll make a very sketchy summary.
- By Christianity: Ancient West and East European cultures, North African and Mesopotamian cultures. Later on, during the colonial era (from the 15th century onwards), Christian missions successfully converted Filipino culture, and in a particularly aggressive and systematic way they wiped out indigenous American cultures. Since the 19th century, they have successfully conquered African cultures. Both in the colonial era and the 19th century, they also targeted East Asian cultures, but they largely failed to conquer them (except Korea, where, with the support of the royal court and the later military regimes in the south, a large part of the population was coaxed into Christianity; and some small ethnic groups throughout East Asia and India).
Once they had acquired power in Rome in the 4th century, Christians vandalised statues of gods and ancestors and temples all throughout the Roman Empire, as witnessed by many historical remains. In today’s South Korea, Christians are behaving exactly in the same way (these threatening bloody Christians seem to like blood-red paint for their acts against other religions’ artworks):
- By Islam: Ancient Arabian, North African, Mesopotamian, Iranian, Central Asian and Southeast Asian cultures. It is worthwhile to note that Islam mostly started by converting peoples who were formerly already Christianised (North Africans and Mesopotamians), and later moved on to conquer Zoroastrian Iran and Central Asia.
Both the religions have been targeting India for centuries. Islam succeeded in converting large swaths of the country (and the areas which today are the independent countries of Pakistan and Bangladesh), and intense Christian missionary efforts beset Indian people to this day.
