What was the reward for the men who invented Christianity.?
Sadly, the life blood of religion is, and always has been "guilt" encouraged by "fear". And the history of Christianity is rife with semonizing about the 'filth' called humanity, which is not fit to worship god until it cleanses itself by wallowing in the blood of a condemned criminal.
(A notion, incidentally, derived from Mithraism, where penetants bathed themselves, before baptism, in the blood of a sacrificed BULL). Some irony there. LOL
The idea that a PERFECT, OMNIPOTENT, AND ONMNISCEINT God, allowed...from the beginning of his Creation, the ultimate 'invention' of a place of ETERNAL punishment for FINITE failings...shows the utter Mythical nature of the whole Biblical legend. The fact that the FIERY hell of Christianity was totally UNKNOWN before the anonymous writers of the New Testament forced that horrendous doctrine into the mouth of the itinerant Jewish rabbi, Jesus of Nazareth, whom they perverted into the false CHRISTIAN Messiah... should act as a red flag to a bull...signaling a dangerous and deceitful MYTH. One that has kept so many Christians on their knees wracked with guilt over 'sins' that no sane god would give a seconds notice.
Christian guilt was, literally, mandated by the false notion of Original Sin that, allegedly, turned men from the perfect creatures created by Yahweh, into the sinful, eternally ostrasized filth that was no longer clean enough to reside in the mythical EDEN. In order to continue the Myth of 'sinful man' as oppossed to a Pure god demanding justice, the idea of 'guilt' was re-inforced by preaching FEAR of the ultimate, eternal torture for alleged , filthy 'sinners'.
A day spent on your feet, helping others, is worth a life time on your knees, wallowing in false guilt before an eternally vengeful deity.

This question was inspired by egyphile.
It would require lies to discredit the connection between Mithraism and Christianity.
Just like it requires lies to discredit evolution.
LMAO!!!
Thank Frizby for a wonderful satirical answer.

The One who invented the name Christianity officially was an Emperor of Rome.
With that, he has gained many more palaces and captives and enable himself to enlarge further his Empire.
That was the reward. The Empire fell but Christianity flourished and have its own City that he can call at the same time his country, A City within a City and a Country within a Country depending the time it is used by the man who inherited the title King from a dead King of Kings.
Another reward. Separation of the church and the State in many countries giving them independence with guise of not interfering with the State's affair. the government happily took that right off never realizing that the consequence is great..Tax Exemptions. who is wiser?

Not really. Islam is the true religion from God. Christianity for all its beautiful preachings and good peoples is a false religion. so when you take a person from truth to falsehood, Allah will not reward you for that. This is not to say that millions of christians are not better humans than millions of muslims or whether this person may do more good as a christian than as a muslim. Allah deals in belief first and deeds second. so if you corrupt your belief, than your deeds cannot save you. And finally, why convert to christianity when whatever you are going to do there you can accomplish as a muslim. if there is something you do not like to do as a Muslim (say jihad), then it is better to stay muslim and ignore that then to become christian to avoid that.

There was no reward. Hell exists, thats all there is to it. And there wasnt a reward for saying so.
