What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity

[Anomalocaris]

This seems to be a "poke NX" thread, but I think a question like this should be put into perspective.

The West lives in the shadow of Christianity, for good and bad.  Without Christianity, there would've been something else.  That something likely wouldn't have been Humanism of Atheism+.  It would've been some other religion that could be twisted and used for nationalistic or imperialistic purposes.

I don't know if the enlightenment would've happened quicker without the church or not.  All I can do is see what the various churches are doing now.  They provide community and a sense of (false?) hope to their congregations.  They also teach fairy tales, impede social progress, teach that reason is a "bad" thing, and minimize the importance of "this" life and the planet.

Christianity has far outlasted its best-before date.

I think it’s best-before date was some time before jesus putatively died. 

I think the use of religion for imperialistic purposes was largely an invention of christianity,  and for that matter its use in that manner was baked into its intolerant and overreaching DNA nearly from the very start.  The creeds and faiths that had been in wide circulation  in Eurasia prior to christianity were generally mutually much more tolerant than christianity could possibly be capable of being without undermining overreaching self-agaggrandizing pretensions which is its basis.

christianity imposes it’s one and only sadomasochistic snuff fantasy on all those whom it could overpower,  where many of the classical religions of europe to middle east wrre not loath to integrating the foreign dieties of defeated and conquered peoples into its own pantheon
