Thing with debates is it was never about who is right. It's all about the audience. You could make a theist become an atheist but, if the crowd thinks the theist won, he did.
As with the original post, I skimmed over it because it was so large and it's late but, I think his entire thing is brought down with: sure the christian church had done some good. EVERYONE has, they also do lots of bad things. But the real kicker is that every single good thing they have ever done is not dependant on god, it is dependant on them being good people. In general people are pretty good, some happen to be christian.
If you are a good person that congratulations! You have saved your sanity and become a welcome member of society despite all the bad things in this world! Please don't give all the credit away for all your hard work.
