Source. What do they mean by "Christianity". And OF COURSE the most developed nations get invaded by non-Christians, that is what I've been talking about. Use the numbers for 100-200 years ago.

What do they mean by "Christianity".

Vatican would be catholic, as would be East Timor, Grenada and Paraguay.

Romania would be Romanian Orthodoxy

Armenia would be Armenian Apostiolic Church

PNG is pretty mixed, with various branches of Christianity often combined with traditional practices.

Greenland has it's own church.

Haiti is mixed. Slightly mostly catholic.

Zambia are all over the place Anglicanism, New Apostolic Church, Lutheranism, Jehovah's Witnesses, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Branhamism, Pentecostalism, and Evangelical movements exist. And about 20% are Catholic.

Use the numbers for 100-200 years ago.

What are they?

I don't know. My point is, today's numbers reflect the CURRENT TREND (of downfall) of Western civilization. Numbers from 100-200 years ago would testify what the Christian nations did in the past when things were going well.

I never wrote there weren't shitholes who say their main religion is Christian. Just like Bush kept talking about how he loves Jesus and he went on to kill millions. IT LITERALLY MEANS NOTHING.

Western civilization is in downfall, but not because of the rise of the age of reason.

In fact in the US you see the slide associated with the move to theocracy. The erosion of the separation of church and state. The overturning of Roe vs Wade. Inexplicable legal protection for bigotry only if it comes from Christians. The destruction of protections against gerrymandering pave the way for more autocratic government.

You're mixing up everything.

Christianity is about morals and is THE ONLY RELIGION that teaches the sanctity of the individual. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a DIRECT CONSEQUENCE of the Christian ethos. If those things aren't progress to you, then I don't know what to say. And actually why do I bother responding to you. You're absolutely like a u/socks alt.

Welcome to my ignore list, Mr. Bad Faith.

And so long as you're not a slave or a woman?

You have a source that there's more emphasis on the sanctity of the individual in more emphasised in Christianity than every other religion?

There's eastern religions that extend the sanctity of life far beyond that of Christianity. Practitioners of Jainism carry brushes with which to sweep insects from their path, lest they inadvertently tread upon them.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a DIRECT CONSEQUENCE of the Christian ethos.

I don't recognise Christianity in there. The tenets of the satanic temple are closer than any christian ideals.

Welcome to my ignore list, Mr. Bad Faith.

Thank you most kindly. There is nothing I am more delighted to be welcomed to right now.
