The fact that they developed in Eurasia led to them being the religions that were promulgated by the ascendant civilizations. As Diamond notes in "Guns Germs and Steel", it is purely incidental that people with "European culture" or "Arab Culture" happened to develop in the areas where food where high-quality grains were plentiful and there were enough domesticable animals to properly till fields. It is just as coincidental that Christianity and Islam were founded by these peoples as opposed to Aztec Religion or Animist African Faiths. However, since the people who founded those religions did not have the same blessings to build to a powerful society that could withstand Christianity or Islam when those religions came.

As a result, Christianity and Islam remain important in explaining world politics and societies.
