I think culture is more maliable.
Before there was christianity there was paganism, and after christianity there were enlightenment philosophies (even if the church was still around and a lot of people were nominally christian, seperation of church and state are a paradigm shift away from christianity IMO)
I think its wrong to cling to conservatism and hold some past version as an ideal state of being, culture is maliable always has, always will be.
(though that doesn't mean those shifts are always good, they usually happen with a lot of violence in tow or are actually harmful)
Because I believe the concept of culture needs to be embedded into an ethnic context, ethno-cultural.
If you have christianity spreading around the globe, a bible analogy about fishing in a village about fishing will be more influencial compared to a farming analogy which would work better in a farming village.
Even if you try to spread a culture or ideology as homogeniously as possible, both the fishing village and the farming village have the exact same book, but factors like geography and well I believe also ethnicity will inevitably shape those believes.
As long as germany were to remain mostly ethnically german, even if it were to convert to islam or buddism or scientologism or whatever, it would be a germanized islam version of that religion/culture, the culture grows from the soil that is the people.
You can change the culture, but I really don't want anyone fucking with the soil.
On the other hand, I think even if they all perfectly tried to integrate and "cosplay" and act as germans etc, if we imported tens of millions of e.g. indians into germany that would change the social fabric of germany on a fundamental level.
They literally couldn't replicate the true spirit of germany, even their acted display of that culture would only be a mockery and mere shadow of itself.
