I’m thinking that I should back up my assertion that Christianity is provably the most humane and civilizing force in human history. To do so, I need to compare it to other significant religions and ideologies, and I’m sure I’ll forget something. Here’s a short list of ten off the top of my head; if anyone can think of anything else that deserves an analytical comparison, please do so in the comments:
Liberal democracy
Islam
Buddhism
Judaism
Atheism
The Roman Empire
Technological advance
Capitalism
Socialism
Communism
