Foster Care, the modern concept of Hospitals, graded levels of education, hygiene, industrial improvements, literacy, agriculture, abolition of indentured servitude, countless charities and I believe a majority of the Nobel laureates were Christian. It's woven all through multiple societies, governments, art, music, literature and (gasp) even science.

The pre-Christian Romans had hospitals christian west could not match for nearly 1500 years until the late 1800s.   It was excuses of christian piety that caused the formerly fastidious daily bathers of western europe to largely abandon bathing almost completely for perhaps a thousand years.  The pre-christian romans almost certainly enjoyed much higher literacy rate than christian europe  before the 19th century.    

please site source of the claim that majority of Nobel Laureates in fields that deal with how things actually are, ie the natural sciences, are christian’s.

basically christianity like to claim dominion for its god over everything, so it certainly has no hesitation in claiming credit for everything,  even when it is claiming credit for is the result of societies getting back to the level it had enjoyed before christianity.

Overreaching hutzpah in the service of its own aggrandizement is another miracle of christianity.
