What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity

RE: What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity
(July 27, 2023 at 6:50 am)Neo-Scholastic Wrote: Historian Tom Holland argues that the concept of human dignity and existential equality come out of the Christian tradition.

Even if it did, the Christian establishment of the past centuries wasn't very good at implementing those concepts.  It took the Enlightenment and, to borrow a term from Karl Popper, piecemeal social engineering, to make any inroads.
