Soo... there's that...
Even Rome had to end up bowing to the Christians and converting or they would have been destroyed by them. Constantine took the old addage of ''if you can't beat 'em join em'' and he applied it to Rome.
Your whole application of history is revisionist at best or intentionally misleading at worse. Christianity basically did the opposite of what you suggested and it is what inevitably moved humanity to the idea that people should be treated well, and that evil powers should not hold power over kingdoms. This is how you end up with people wanting just and fair rulers and rejecting those who are not, and how you end up with ideas such as egalitarianism that others who hate Christianity try to pervert with their doctrines of ''equity'' or superiority...
Judge a man by his actions and example... seek truth and justice for what is right, these are the basis of christian idealism.
Compliance and subordination are not part of the overarching allegory in the bible. You can quote it out of context but the general message is DONT ACCEPT EVIL, do what is right, even when it is harder than what is wrong, and don't let people trick you into doing what is wrong and trying to tell you it is right...
This is the foundation. When Christianity started to grow, it didn't bring any of the ruling powers a bunch of docile slave underclassmen... on the contrary it overtook nearly every kingdom who opposed it
