RE: Christianity in Africa stats: <10 MN in 1900, 700 MN today.
well, not sure how being concerned about Souls, as well as Bodies, and the needs of both, is not true concern; If morality were to be subjectively determined, then Christians are subjectively convinced Christiaity is true, hence their actions are conscientiously consistent with those beliefs, much more than those who might say they believe in Christ, but neither care about Souls, and even profess an "I-dont-care-ism" when it comes to the affairs of this world. When Tucker Carlson says no one should care about Ukraine because many can't even name it on a map, that's I-dont-careism in action. Christ's command is not that. Christ's command is to love one's neighbor sincerely from one's heart and to help them when one can do it. Love includes care for both bodily and spiritual needs. I mentioned how Christianity came to England, in another thread, the Royal Family was impressed by how Archbishop St. Augustine of Canterbury, with 40 monks, sent by Pope St. Gregory the Great, devoted themselves without ceasing to prayer, fasting, charity (Christians used to give the food they did not eat to the Poor in those days; unlike lax modern days, when ancient disciplines on both have reduced), every good work and to teaching the Truth, and in time, the King of England himself entered the Baptismal Fount.

It's basically the same story everywhere, whether in Africa or England. When Christianity is deeply lived, as opposed to superficially practiced, it changes lives, hearts and souls. The Early Christians used to do this well, and slowly that Holy Spirit Fire is reviving now in this 21st Century.

Angrboda, ok, what is freedom then and how do you define it? Do Atheists and Christians have not equal rights? Don't both have Freedom of Speech?
