Atheists are mentally ill

The impact Christ had on the world and the our moral systems and our society is clear to see.

Religion/Jesus does not have a monopoly on morality. Morality existed long before man wrote the fiction book you revere. Morality had to evolve in primitive man for the survival of the clan. It is an anthropologically sound concept.

You do well to point out that we don't keep slaves now, you do well to point out the equality of gender and race, our welfare systems and charities and so on.

You are doing quite well to ignore that black people were slaves due to religion and how the bible supported slavery. You are doing quite well in ignoring that women were not considered as equal to men due to religion and how the bible supported man's absolute control over her. You are forgetting that all the wars created in the name of religion and all the people killed in the name of the witchcraft religion feared does not atone for any type of charity work. You are forgetting that despite charity work, religion is the richest and most powerful organization that truly does nothing to end homelessness or world hunger because its greed is counterproductive to what Jesus stated in relation to getting rid of one's wealth.

We have made real progress of some kind which will be difficult for you to deny as based on some kind of fiction.

Religion has done nothing except hinder progress, which has been made apparent from its disdain of scientific evidence that sheds truth upon the lies of stated religion. History has shown this time and again.

There is real substantial truth in there to be seen if you open your eyes.

The "truth" of which you speak is mere faith, which requires one closing his eyes and believing in something without any evidence to support its existence.

What you may like to think of as "secular morality" is really Christian morality, this is how Christ shaped our world.

Your imaginary friend shaped nothing, except ignorance which spreads like wildfire through the gullible masses.
