"Who is the tptb? How can they outlaw Christianity?"
The powers that be are the corporate elite, Major banking families and the royal bloodlines of europe. They all secretly meet every year to discuss/guide world affairs. Under the Title "bildaberg group" basically a shadow world Government. They are orchastraiting a unification of 3 major Unions this organisation is called "the trilateral commision" they seek to unify countries into one superstate and divide the world into 3 main parts covering the strongest area's of the world.
Europe (EU) North America (NAU) and Asia/Pacific (APU).
The EU used to be called the EEC (European Economic Community)each soverigne state working together economically eventually they merged the nations into one superstate and called it the EU. Once the Lisbon Treaty is ratified by Ireland The EU is in full control of the nations. There already exists APEC (asia pacific ecconomic community) and there is a drive in North America to create a NAEC between Mexico USA and Canada.
Both of these will follow in the footsteps of the already created EU and the African Union. I am sure there a plans for a SAU- south American Union as well. But both the African Union and south America Union have less significant importance because they are less able to provide any significant opposition due to their economic positions.
When a new state is created, it is a blank slate as far laws are concerned (thus Christianity can be outlawed or laws put in place where new laws can be passed against Christianity using previous laws as a president) once these laws are in place the countries can sign over sovereignty to the new super state. This can not happen in Ireland due to the constitution , they must have a referendum.
In the US this can not happen either again due to the constitution but Amendments have been put in place that should a national emergency occur such as an economic depression a terror attack/natural disaster or many other reasons then The President can implement Marshal Law which effectively suspends the constitution, enabling the US Government to ratify the trade agreements that would see the end of the United States as we know it. Secretly these agreements have already been signed.

Once the world is divided into regional superstates they will hand over power to the UN a centralized and unelected global governing body who will oversee the local governments of the regional superstates.
