The way things are in our days at least in the western democratic world are much better than what they had been 100 or 200 years ago, even though unfortunately far from perfect.
It's a shame the world rejected the message of the gospel otherwise things would have improved dramatically long ago.

Whereas there might have been some indirect influence of Christianity on democratic ideas, historically the latter had to break free from the Christian dogma and church to prevail (souvenirs from Voltaire, Rousseau and the French revolution ). -

Sadly, people have been twisting the gospel for centuries, using as justification for war after war.
The bad thing about the gospel is that there are too many interpretations. You would think that a god who wants to be followed would have made his directions more clear and to the point. He should not have allowed much of the meaning to be lost in translation.
