Christianity has a long history of immorality guised as morality - oppression of minorities, oppression of gays, deliberate wars of conquest. It is not a source of pure moralistic teaching. It is fatally flawed - as its adherents demonstrate constantly.
Morality is not dependent on religion. Religion, with its assertion that its teachings come from a (utterly fictional) higher power, suppresses criticism of immorality, and demands obedience. Fuck that shit.
Thumbs up but don't forget the oppression of women.
Absolutely right.
