[Serious] The Humanities

This is true. (Though the part about "you beloved jebus" is not relevant.) There are also morals and ethics in non-Christian countries. 
I think I made it clear that I am talking about the history of Europe as we have it. If you'd like me to specify that I'm talking about the last 1600 years, I'm happy to do that. 

I'm also talking about more than morals and ethics, as I made clear in the OP. "Values, sympathy, and the good life." 

If you'd like to start a thread about values, morals, and ideas of the good life in, for example, Confucian China, that might be an interesting topic. 

Your statement here that Matthew Arnold was an "apologist" and your apparent impression that I'm advocating a return to religion indicate to me that you've jumped to some conclusions. Your critique here doesn't really address the thread topic.
