Clearly, Christianity was established when whoever-wrote-Galatians wrote it.


Your statement is not logical.

You seem not to understand that Galatians attempts to establish that the writer did NOT start Christianity.
In Galatians it is claimed Paul was a persecutors of those in Christ.

Christianity must have been already known and established if Paul persecuted the Jesus cult.

The earliest source for a cult of Christians is Lucian of Samosata c 160 CE.

Whoever wrote Galatians knew the Later Jesus stories in the Canon.

The Pauline Corpus matches the Later Gospels and Acts--not gMark.
