Can you be more specific? What effects?

People going without while the church gets richer? Holding power over the masses via intimidation and fear?

The quote which didn't get copied by (tablet glitch!) was from Mojisa;

These are relatively modern rights and have increased as the stronghold of religion on daily life has deceased.

Our country has developed into a pretty decent place, in part this is due to our history & development being christian based. I agree the church has a lot to answer for & we have a long way to go in some areas in general as a nation but Christianity played some part in the way we evolved, the rights we enjoy & the freedoms we expect in our daily lives.

You can disagree but this is a personal view, I don't subscribe to religion, any of them & never did, even as a child at a CoE school but I am able to acknoledge that religion is part of our culture & history & have made my peace with it.

I'll give you history, but not modern culture (my opinion).

I do disagree. What rights and freedoms do we have because of the Christian church?

I have not said we have rights & freedoms because of the Christian church.

I used geometry yesterday to put some things up on DD's wall. Chemistry last week in making a cake, and this morning in cleaning my bathroom. Physics to teach DD how to ride her bike uphill on saturday, and to explain how the brakes work.

Must be my age - I would have used a spirit level with the shelf, Delia (or whoever) for the cake, and parental sense and experience for the bike teaching lol

No. If you are looking for something that isn't there go ahead & waste your time.

But isn't it interesting to know how the cake rises, and how friction causes the bike to stop when you apply the brakes? It's far more relevant to be taught this stuff than to be taught about some fairy story that might or might not have happened thousands of years ago.

It wasn't a shelf - it was a framed height chart that didn't start with zero, and something to hang from the ceiling that required pythagoras to find an unknown distance.

Okay, I can waste a few minutes.

I read the first quote as saying that our current rights and freedoms are down to the effect of the Christian faith on society.

I think we've only got the rights and freedoms we have now because society is now longer under the influence of the church to anywhere near the degree it used to be.
