Christianity's Valuable Contributions to Humanity: An Examination of Militant Atheism

[The Architect Of Fate]

You still haven't show me any Atheists leading the charge to Abolish Slavery. Quite telling.

Why would a group that was barely a fraction of the human population of that time should be expected to be the ones to lead the charge of abolition?This is a ridiculous charge. There were most certainly atheists who were abolitionists (Elizur Wright for example) but i would be more interested in how many atheists defended slavery by contrast to how many Christians did ? How many Christian slave owners have there been by contrast to atheist ones? You could argue demographics of the times when slavery existed at least in it's pre-modern form bias that question and that's the point expecting a tiny minority that has only recently reached any prominence in society to fix a problem the majority started and happily praticed  for centuries is unrealistic and unfair.
