This doesn't add up historically.
Especially for Christianity.
Exactly the opposite happened.
The first and main "enemies" of Christianity was nations (Jews and Romans/Greeks) and States (Roman Empire etc).
The confusion is predictable and can be justified due to mingling of national identities/cultures with religious beliefs.
The truth is that States as conservative mechanisms (require common language, history, heroes and yes faith) used religion/faith as a means of producing homogeneity to the people.
This become very evident if you listen modern Jews talking (Ben Shapiro and likes).
On of their common say against Christianity is that it's global, put the nation 2nd etc
