... ... ... my issue, as always, as that it doesn't make any of it actually true. People aren't non-religious because they think it's "bad" or "can't see the good it's done"... but because it is just simply false.

Christianity raised 100s of billions for the worlds poorest and sickest every year around the blobe....tens of thousands work voluntarily to cloth and feed the poorest and supply them medicines. Im not saying a religious person is better or worse than an atheist. I am saying the organization of Christianity does enormous good on a massive scale. And unlike atheists I do fifferentiate this religoon from Islam and judaism and consider Christianity to be vastly superior. It has also brought us many of our strongest principles and laws upon which european civilization has been built. It has been a force for good in many ways. I believe most wars which are easily blamed on religion, though where did Christ encourage war or discrimination? He simply didnt. Wars are nearly always over wealth, money, resources, land, greed and monarchy. ALways of course to make the elite 1% even richer.
