How are you seeing that as being different? You aren't saying that
fundamental religion never undergoes drastic change are you? If you are you
would be indicating a serious lack in your education regarding theology and
the history of religion. The transistion from Judaism to Christianity to
Islam, or from another perspective, from Judaism to Catholocism to
institutional Protestantism to evangelical charismatic populist
Protestantism would be enough to refute that idea.
