is that he forgets and conveniently leaves out all the good things that have come from Judeo/Christian morals and values - like realizing the bad and inhuman process of slavery and actually changing that and erradicating it from Christian countries. Unlike Islam which still practices it today and wants to seem to live in the midievel ages, as well as their absolute misstreatment of women.
In fact, Judaism "was the first religion to preach thh sanctity 'of human life' and to maginify the value of each individual human being in the eyes of the creator. - hence, equally, in [that of] other human beings." Paul Johnson.
And let's look at secularism:
Nazis were secularists - their hatred for God led thousands of Jews to the Gulag. And then there's the fields of white crosses that dot the globe marking the burial sites of American Christians who died to keep the world free from that vicious system of government.
Well, that's just what I got from the first few paragraphs, not very impressed at all. Mostly bullshram if you ask me. But if it makes you feel better, go for it.
