No, our civilisation is not Christian or JudeoChristian, our civilisation, the civilisation spreading around the World is the continuation of Greek civilisation. Christianity is just the religion of many.
Remember that Europe only took off, recivilized itself, in the Renaissance after knowing of the Greeks. This means that after 16 centuries of Christianity, Europe remained backward, as it can not be otherwise when faith suppresses freedom.
That is why also Communist countries, religious regimes, etc., keep countries backward. No, China is not a Communist regime, it is a fascist-capitalist regime using the word Communism to fool the Chinese people. Im fact, China is more like nazi Germany.
Just a reminder; the West civilized itself and its ideas and inventions in all areas of knowledge are gradually civilizing the whole World, but it is not because of Christianity, it is because in the Middle ages, after 1600 years of Christianity and even more of Judaism, some Europeans came across ancient Greek ideas like placing humans at the center, pushing divinities to the margins, freedom of thought and decision, and its natural consequence, democracy.
Fortunately, those Europeans became fascinated by Greek thought (which the ancient Israelis, along with Persians, Phillistines and orhers, were unable to grasp), otherwise Israel and the others would have become shiny sparks in the Ancient World and the Renaissance and Enlightenment would have happened abour 2000 year earlier, 400 before Christ, etc.)
The European Renaissance and the Enlightenment, this time, also won over many European Jews.
The rest is history, even smart people like Chinese, Japanese, Indians have “converted” to Western Civilization and some like the Japanese, the Taiwanese and others are as good, as civilized, as any Western country.
India has even embraced representative democracy, and the Chinese of the mainland surely will too in time, once they see that CCP Marxist dogmas and corruption, and controlling the people, holds them back materially and, just as important, in terms of freedom and human dignity. Yes, the Chinese today are way behind the ancient Greeks in freedom and dignity.
Another hard truth is that the Moslems, during their holy wars, also came across Greek thought.
At first they fell in love and adopted Greek freedom of thought, which is what Greek Philosophy is about. Unfortunately, soon the Islamic authorities felt unesat trying to thread Moslem dogma (rigid ideas) with Greek freedom of thought and in the 10th century started to shut freedom of thought down.
The Christian authorities were unable, but not unwilling to do the same but, for whatever reason, the Europeans resisted, although the Church tried hard; almost killed Galileo, burned his books, also burned Copernicus books and banned certain ancient Greek authors.
At the same time, faced with the impossibility of eradicating Greek thought, a number of Church authorities like Augustine, Thomas Aquinas and orhers performed assorted intellectual pirouettes trying to sew the Christo-Judean beliefs with Greek Reason and freedom of thought, an irational goal because faith and reason are like oil and water.
People have the right to have and believe anything that comforts them, but faith is real only in the mind of the believer.
Without scientofic proof, all the reasoning of the Fathers of the Church is about why God must exist, as per their reasoning, there is not one iota of proof that any god exists.
However, the idea of divinity is obviously comforting to millions of people, orherwise religion would not exist.
Testimonials about any god speaking to humans, miracles, etc., are not proof.
But let me tell you another hard truth; even today’s democracies are not real democracies. For sure they are far more civilized than any dictatorship; communist, islamic or fascist because they have freedom of thought and speech, and can elect their leaders, instead of being treated as not better than domestic animals, as is the case in all dictatorships.
The final hard truth is that only the Swiss haveba democracy that comes close to real democracy. This is because, while they have freedom of thought and expression and can elect representatives, the people can not decide any law or policy, which the Swiss can.
Many wars would not happen if ordinary citizens had the opportunity to discuss the issues and directly decide key laws, key policies and changes to the constitution, all on their own initiative and prevailing over decision or law made by politicians.
