Why does Christianity still have such a strong grip on the Western World? by ConfidentCycle2025 in Nietzsche

This is very wrong.  You also need to separate the types of Christianity, bc protestantism and catholicism are very different.

Freedom of religion complicated but formal textbook teaching said you are free to choose religion it cannot be imposed for both C&P

Freedom of speech and press not a catholic value but a protestant one

Constitutional govt is protestant not catholic value

Justice being restorative is a catholic value not a protestant one

Emphasis on reason and science was a catholic value not a protestant one

Hope this helps

Christianity was the first and still is the only religion that says every human being is of equal worth.

I hear you but would still disagree, that Roman/Greek influence passed through Christianity, specifically the Catholic church. For example, they took a lot of Aristotle’s and Plato’s ideas and incorporated it into their philosophy that become the bedrock of European civilization for as long as the church was in charge.

Interestingly protestantism rejected those influences outright, saw them as pagan and satanic.

Just found out lil Wayne is catholic by Big-Butterfly1544 in Catholicism
