The question is for who? Remember who got rid of the slavery? At least in our modern world. And who can actually talk about the pagan world? It is an imaginary world we really know very little about. Some Eras of religion did actually good, and I like Jimmy Carr when he speaks about religion on the last part here. I'm not religious in any way, and signed out of the church book, but still, I have travelled Norway, and even the church did rape the poor in times, there where other times they gave people school, discipline, sobered them up, gave them medicine, and more. It is not just black and white. There is also some Eras where the Muslims flourished, and a few golden Eras for the Jewish population. Why is the Jews so strong? Is it because of their heritage and strong belief? https://youtube.com/shorts/6quxPfGX-yo?is=RXJTlUkZL1-7aEOg
