Your statements and comparison are completely illogical and mocking halacha.

Hashem prohibited us from serving avodah zorah, and He prohibited non-Jews as well. Who decides what is avodah zorah? Torah, and only Torah. Your comparison to flat earth makes absolutely no sense.

The Rama (Shulchan Aruch OC end of siman קנו) rules halachically that Christianity is permissible for non-Jews since they were not prohibited from שיתוף and they partner their avodah zorah with שם שמים.
(וראה הנסמן שם בגר”א ורעק”א ועוד)

YOU don’t understand how this is different from all ancient avodah zarahs – so YOU should go learn what the difference is.
Don’t proclaim that you know better than halachah because its ‘just like’ “if the overwhelming shitas hold the world is flat…”
Allow halachah to dictate its own laws.

P.S. There are others who disagree, but please allow this to remain a Halachic debate, with respectable poskim on either side. Don’t mix in your own ignorance.
