Here’s a thought, the church has a continuous history (the gates of hell not prevailing), so the anti church has a non continuous history, different cults getting crushed or fading away and some unrelated men picking up the idea; and since it’s not actually being handed over it’s a funhouse mirror transmission.

By contrast to that last part one of the fascinating parts of Christian history is how sturdy the transmission of scripture was and is; there are always heresies, doctrinal issues, etc., but the Bible itself has been remarkably preserved. It doesn’t matter in the anti church if anything is preserved if the whole idea means trying to get the power of God, speaking things into existence.

Official History for Franklin is that he didn't do shit in France. The historians paint his practice of not doing shit as Ambassadorial Genius. I prefer your explanation.
