Re: excellent points, good sir.
Strengthening the hands of the central powers is also an option. I suppose that depends on how compatible the Book of Origin is with, say, the Old Testament. (I believe, if I am remembering something I was taught in 7th grade correctly, there are threads that connect the Old Testament, the Torah, and the Koran together. But this was, uh, almost 10 years ago that I heard this.) If it's highly compatible, it could be highly creepy in how easy it could be to twist everything to do just as you said. If not, well, it becomes very hard. Christians, for example, still argue about what books are canon or not.
I don't know how Daniel (and SG-1) managed to win theological arguments like that. Shattering faith is not only hard, but the consequences are enormous. (Or should be.) It wasn't like converting people on Earth from one religion to another. Like I said, on Earth, if we have faith, we are taught to have it without proof. This is part of the reason why the concept of "atheist" even exists. In the galaxy out there in the 'gate-verse, the idea of being an "atheist" is completely insane, because the "gods" walk among you. Really, how are you supposed to win that argument? (Providing nothing to replace theology, which not only religion, but also some governments were based on, was not only dangerous, but probably extremely stupid and short-sighted. It's really no surprise that it came back to bite them in the ass.)
