NT - Luke 6:35 - But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
What began as an ethno-religion for one group was probably altered through the centuries, making it more palatable to different ethnic groups, facilitating its exportation to different ethnic groups.
More precisely, the religion gradually changed (was cherry-picked) as it grew in popularity and expanded to regions inhabited by peoples very different than the ones from which it originated, where they added some to it and subtracted some from it; an 'evolution' of sorts.
What's indisputable however is that the 'old' and the 'new' faiths have a common ancestor in the ethno-religion of the group that conceived it in the first place.
