yes bc it's shaped the Western civilisation and still is the main philosophical influence.
Besides, I'd not call it a pathetic cult. I abandoned religion myself, but can't deny that Jesus brought "the cult" forward in a big way. I have no quarrel with Jesus's teachings (forget about Old Testament stuff tho, that's bigots charter).
Take away the supernatural stuff, and Jesus becomes a serious social reformer and philosopher. I have utmost respect for the man.
