Secular organizations could have started the first Universities but they didn’t until after Christians did.

Slavery has been abolished worldwide, but only after Christian nations did so first.
My point is that the moral principles that seem so obvious and basic to atheists today didn’t exist before they were believed and promoted by Christians first. Atheists just adopted them, like they have the modern scientific method which was developed by brilliant Christian thinkers based on their conviction that knowledge of the Nature Order reflected the Mind of a Rational Creator god. Beliefs do matter and if a particular set of beliefs are so strong and so powerful that they change the world dramatically and for the better, then I say, there is something fundamentally different about those beliefs.
Yeah, I'm not accepting any of that on your say so. No uni's until christians? No medical until chirstians? Christians abolish slavery first? And no human morals until christians?
