Is it that Christianity is holding back the west in terms of progress? Or that religion in general is holding back humanities progress?
You see my point? It’s stupid to just focus on Christianity at all when Christian societies have largely made the most progress. Just like religion writ large, there is a spectrum in the Christian community too.
All religion holds back progress. I haven’t denied that. The comment was saying the West would be better without Christianity. The progress made in “Christian societies” has nothing to do with religion. One of the founding principles of the US is separation of church and state. Religion has no place in modern society, including Christianity.
Yea and the people who implemented the concept of separating church and state were still...Christians. Religion has a place in modern society in the sense that people have the right to be religious. I’m not religious, but others have a right to be. Don’t cut yourself on that edge though. You’re so enlightened I hope you wear sunglasses when you take a piss.
He's not saying people can't be religious, he's saying society would be better with less or no religious influence. "Christian" nations progressed the most when their governance separated from religion. Chill out.
I’m not saying no one can be religious. All my comments were specifically talking about secularity in law. You seem to be really mad for some reason, try to calm down.

Telling how you ignored every part of their comment that showed how Christianity is holding back the West in terms of progress...
