The Atheist Obsession with Insulting Christians

[ApeNotKillApe]

Technically, it doesn't prove that at all, one way or the other, because you're both stating the facts in a misleading/skewed way.

Hey, hanging "technically" at the front of a sentence in the same manner that one dangles a carrot out in front of a horse will not make your lame, malnourished mule of an accusation any more fit to haul the argument wagon over to Validation County.

Our morality has improved in almost every measurable way, over the course of history. Still needs work in many areas, but we now almost universally recognize the abhorrence of the practice of slavery, for instance.

Yes, and the Catholic Church defended slavery, they used the Bible to endorse the practice of slavery because the Bible endorses the practice of slavery. Things tend to progress in a more positive direction once we stop taking advice from primitive death worshipers.  I don't see whatever point it is you're trying to make here.
 

Most Christians tend to view our morals as "flawed" and ever-short of an imaginary ideal of perfection, [b]and so they too tend to overlook the measurable improvements in the way humans are learning to treat one another, overall.

I'm not talking about individual Christians, I'm talking about CHRISTIANITY, the fascist doctrine, the so-called infallible divine mandate that is directly responsible for countless atrocities on every continent. Institutionalized Christianity has justified unspeakable actions by invoking God's will, and it continues to do so to this day.

Some others argue that Christianity, as the basis of Western Civilization, was the foundation for that improvement; others cite the Renaissance and Enlightenment as secular triumphs over the blind dogmatism of the Dark Ages, even changing the values subtly among the religious.

And which of those two arguments actually seems plausible to you? The Church was a force for political stability in Europe, it's doctrine encouraged expansion and conquest, these are effective traits, Christianity is undoubtedly a major contributor to the dominance the west has exerted over the last few centuries. Christianity was and is still an institution of fascist theocracy, it condemns inquiry and
