So I take it, by the deafening silence, we agree that Protestants led the Enlightenment, from Newton to Payle, to Locke, to the Founders to the abolitionists, (Quakers and Methodists mostly), with help from 2 Catholics noted on the science side.
Voltaire we should give very little credit to, since he wrote a justification of slavery at the same time Wesley condemned it. Paine said virtually nothing a Protestant had not said before him
Fair enough?
