and i have been in situations where i was looking at being jailed, but i felt like its because of christianity the judge and social workers had compassion on me, that i was able to turn my life around, otherwise i may be dead today even.
No but I do fantasize about how the planet would be able to progress without christianity both in terms of our humanity, our connection with the earth and our technology.
Christianity has nothing to do with treating people with compassion. Christians do not have a monopoly on compassion, in fact, I would argue the exact opposite.
What religion definitely DOES have is a monopoly on holding humanity back from making real progress in a number of key areas. It gives humanity as a species a superiority complex that teaches them that its ok to exploit our environment and ignore the realities of our existence in a way that is extremely damaging to our species. Christianity also has an agenda to subjugate women which holds us back as a whole as well.
Christianity is simply a bad thing for humanity on a number of levels.
