Christian Values formed Western Civilization: In a world where the Western media chronically demonizes religion and Christianity, let us take a look at the essence of the true Christian principles.

Many do not even know which these are now, assuming that most of our central values are “secular” of origin as has been taught the past century by atheist writers who seek to demolish the traditional values in the West. Yet, in reality our most cherished Western values originate from the pool of Christian ideals.

("How ironic that when the West leaves the Christian faith and demonizes its own cultural heritage, Russia rises as the defender of the Christian faith, says the Danish theologian, journalist, and queen of the MeToo movement in Denmark, Iben Thranholm.")

So, how did revolutionary message of the philosopher and spiritual leader, Jesus Christ impact Western civilization?
World leading historians agree that Christian philosophy was revolutionary in that its definition of humanity was inclusive of all people, an altogether new view on the value of human life.

It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of Christianity’s influence on Western values. It was Christianity that introduced the principle of e******y, which unleashed the revolutionary idea that each man, regardless of class, g****r and race, has a unique value.

The early Christians worked to relieve suffering, help the poor and so on. They taught humility and that all men were brothers.

As we live in an age of atheist intolerance in an unprecedented and highly intolerable level, where the mainstream media constantly focus negatively on Christians, Muslims and religions in general, we should rekindle the knowledge how groundbreaking the message of Jesus Christ was.

Contrary to what many think, brainwashed as we are by the liberal-progressive Western atheists, a number of our most important values come from the Judeo-Christianity heritage and its ethics, writes founder of The Herland Report, historian of comparative religions Hanne Herland. Judeo-Christian is an oxymoron!

Vast Majority in the West are Believers

Christian Values formed Western Civilization: The statistics in favor of faith in God are remarkably high in the West. More than 80 percent of the American people believe in God, over 70 % in Europe believe that Jesus is the son of God. The number do not even include the high percentage of Muslims in Europe. The attendance in the institutionalized Protestant churches is remarkably low, an average of 2-6 % go regularly to church.

Whether this is connected to the rampant atheist attack on the churches, demanding its message to be “politically correct” or else priests lose their jobs, is hard to say. The remarkable difference between the high percentage that state they believe in Christ and those who regularly attend church should be a topic of further study.

Research shows that only 2-8 percent of the world population is atheist. This is according to Pew Research Forum, Encyclopedia Britannica, ISSP 2008.
