What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity

While 93 percent of the members of the National Academy of Sciences,
one of the most elite scientific organizations in the United States, do not believe in God, ... is true,

the entire discussion is invalid in Logic.

It is an example of the "argumentum ad vericundiam", (the argument from authority) fallacy.

Their expertise is in science, not religions, philosophy or history.

Which shows that our British counterparts agree. It's not a logically unsound argument though.
I'm not arguing that they are the authority on anything. I argue that their self-identity classifies them as Christian, and as such, within their field they have contributed to society. I don't think you can separate the who they claim from the who they are. Not that it matters. In some way part of who they are is/was Christian. Their Christianity may have zero bearing on their scientific contribution, but it can't be divorced from who they are. Therefore it meets the definition of Christian contribution.

It's easy to argue that christianity hasn't been a positive influence in healthcare, it remains committed to denying healthcare to this very day.

The christian scientists™ have some weird thing against tamiflu, jws think blood transfusions are icky, the cathlicks don't like bortin babbies and the fundies think people should suffer with the mental health god "gifted" them.  OFC, the main consumers of each and every service are, by sheer force of demographics, christian.  Nominal or otherwise.

The desire or existential need to corner an intentionally limited market cannot credibly be confused with any beneficent religious motivation to the betterment of humanity.  Insomuch as christianity ever stumbled into doing anything right by accident, it set out to do the thing for wholly degenerate reasons, and topped it off by lying about what they did, what others did, and..now..where they even got the idea.  

Holy...holy...holy.

I don't deny, that Religious view and christians themselves have been a negative influence in healthcare and may other areas GN. That wasn't the assignment though. Even stumbling around into doing the right things for the wrong reasons still shows that there was a "right thing" and Christians did it, by your own admission.
