      Religions are not invented but rather evolved, and the two you mention came into form long before the life of anyone currently living.

          The UK participates in global imperialism in partnership with the US.

          It benefits from imperialism, whereas states in the Middle East are subordinated as vassals, or otherwise marked as enemies.
