Good job. This may be an even better version of what I just posted, entitled "Three Historic Hijackings of Christianity" https://scottvern.medium.com/three-historical-hijackings-of-christianity-7c1d5dfe60bf

Interesting in particular the rather recent inventions of "faith-only" (from Catholic good works and faith, James 2:24) and "Satan as ruler of all things evil" (from God's agent meant to simply test our faith). I added the hijacking of the Holy Spirit (made into some kind of charismatic, speaking in tongues, snake-handling thing?) and the melding of God/Jesus in the Trinity, in lieu of Jesus being the literal son of God. Did these grow so as to "scare people into compliance"?
