Rather than explain anything, how about an actual fact finding excursion?
1. Under what auspices and by what schema do we assert that it is immoral to profit off the suffering of others and can this be reconciled with an insisted necessity of christ's crucifixion? At what point in the development of christianity did the definitive word on this come down, from whom, and were there notable outliers?
2. Of what civic value is the proffering of religious opinion in the act of governance? What, if anything, has changed in the inevitable secularization of government since the reformation and counter-reformation? Is there any reason today to take a stance different than the devoutly christian Hollanders (as one of many examples) who resolved to lay religion aside as an aspect of individual rather than public or economic life?
3. As an aspect of individual life, to what interpersonal or familial end is christianity in specific leveraged? What will it achieve?
I like these three. They approach the fundamental validity and suitability of the claim. The value of it's employment in the current organization of societies, and the private aims of individual believers without so much as skimming christianity as a means or for a consideration of truth value. Each one simply accepts that some claim is true and that christianity is capable of producing some effect.
