Christianity is the very root and foundation of Western civilization.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Christianity is in its nature revolutionary.
As I have pointed out, it is the Christian tradition that is the most fundamental element in Western culture. It lies at the base not only of Western religion, but also of Western morals and Western social idealism.
Europe and European identity is rooted in Christianity.
Christianity is the greatest civilizing, moulding, uplifting power on this globe.
Christianity began as a religion of the poor and dispossessed - farmers, fishermen, Bedouin shepherds. There's a great lure to that kind of simplicity and rigor - the discipline, the call to action.
Compared with the thousands of years in which human life has been on this planet, Christianity is a recent development.
Christianity is usually called a religion. As a religion it has had a wider geographic spread and is more deeply rooted among more peoples than any other religion in the history of mankind.
Christianity is the root of all democracy, the highest fact in the rights of men.
I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its Churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.
It is true that Christianity is not bound up with any particular race or culture. It is neither of the East or of the West, but has a universal mission to the human race as a whole.
