We must have read different articles. The one I read said it was dated around 1450AD.

Ah, you're right. I must have mixed it up with something else I was reading; that article (someone posted it on Fb) sent me off on a reading jag.

My point stands! But, like, an order of magnitude attenuated.

It's an important order of magnitude. We are talking about religion here, and among other things, religions are tools for transmitting cultural knowledge and practices down through centuries and millenia. 550 years is not really such a long time for a religion.
