Most religious terms in English are from Anglo-Saxon origin.

True or False:

False

Most religious terms in English come from Latin origin. These terms were introduced during the Roman Conquest (43-84 AD) through the Romans' main language: Latin. Most of the Celtic and Anglo-Saxon religions that were practiced were slowly suppressed by Christianity. This process was officially achieved in the year 597 in which Augustine of Canterbury was sent by Gregory the Great with the intention of fully evangelizing England's population.
