Good comments, Sulla. Liberal secular democracy emerged first in Christian civilization.
Very true. However, the very things that Christians now cry about are what allowed that, the freedom to choose to NOT be Christian, for instance, or to say that God sucks major donkey balls.
Christian values were used to both promote and crush slavery. Can't really give Jesus credit for that one since he never really said slavery was bad.
Women's suffrage was decried as going against the Bible. A lot of Christians today still view women as a lesser being. Can't really give Jesus credit for that.
Sexual freedom ... well, that's anti-Jesus all the way around.
And socially liberal ideas did NOT orginate in a Christian civilization, at least not in the U.S., since this is NOT a christian nations. First amendment and all.
The same is true of modern science. It only ever developed in Christian culture...and spread from there.
Actually, almost all of modern science, math, cartography, medicine, cosmology, chemistry, physics....start during the golden age of Islam. It developed under ISLAMIC culture ... and spread from there.
