That link takes you to that person's web page with a "Not Found" message, and there's a "Search" box on the page.  And if you type "The Great Apostasy" into the search, it gets you to a list of articles including the one titled, "Is This the Great Apostasy?  Here's what caused it".  Or try this link:   https://ancient-faith.com/?s=the+great+apostasy

So when the early Christians are talking about how virtuous and good they are compared to everyone else this guy just accepts that it is an objective fact?

That is really credulous and naive.

Then he talks about a lack of violence within Christianity and says that changed after Nicea. Well…….DUH. Once the Christians were put in power they stopped keeping their heads down. Then they started causing violence because they were part of the elite and part of the state. Then laments that Constantine brought in a bunch of former pagans. Whereas before that Christian converts were coming from where exactly?

Then a bit about how not everyone is getting “born again” like they used to. It is that weird way of assuming that everything was going perfect until someone screwed it up. Yeah, reading the Pauline epistles it is clear that the Christians were all getting along perfectly. C’mon, this is ridiculous.
