We were discussing the Christian basis for the founding of America, which is factual.
I understand that there is a lot of anti-Christian propaganda in the leftist world, but that doesn't change the facts. Hinduism in India is intolerant. Christianity in America has provided the greatest religious freedom in the history of the world.
Facts.
No, America has provided the greatest religious freedom in the history of the world because of its political system, and that system in turn derives from the British. Yes, the values of Christianity were an instrumental part of things, but they weren't the only thing and without the British innovations in self-rule, which finally found their first true flowering in the original 13 colonies, there wouldn't have been such a flowering of religious freedom.
And the fact is - yes, cold hard facts - Christianity has inspired its own fair share of oppression and bigotry.
Quite honestly, for all their terrible cooking and terrible teeth, the degree of political freedom - which is necessary for religious freedom - the world enjoys would not exist without the British.
