Ah yes, Jesus Christ and Muhammed: paragons of cooperation with the Roman/Byzantine authorities and Jewish and Meccan elites. Randomness seems a better explanation of the genesis of these religions, with prosocial cooperation benefits being the reason they spread after they actually get off the ground. Thoughts? Alternatively maybe these two are just exceptions to more ancient moralizing pantheons, but if that's the case, they're pretty large exceptions...
