I think that christianities influence on society is far too great and for the most part a bad thing.
By purporting to have all he answers it stiffles questioning.
By pretending to be the ultimate in moral standards it prevents society from improving morally. (your take on slavery is an example of this).
Because people believe we are living in 'end times' they dont want to fix the environment and some seem to actually want to hasten the apocalypse!
Christians band together and vote for oppressive legislation because of their 'beliefs' which seem to supprt their prejudice.
It is annoying that people cling to these bronze age cultish beliefs in this day and age.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
