The Churches have also produced rich fruit & fertile trees for 2 millennia as well. Otherwise, Christianity would not last to this very day. None that any other non-Christian body can and has produced. You are not exceptional or better people in any way. That you think you are, is what continues to damn the Church. Where in my post did I say that no other religion has not produced? I said that the reason Christianity exists today because it has produced rich & fertile trees for the past millennia.

As have all the other religions. This is why they survive too. Atheists have produced as many beneficial things, if not more, as religion.

Nothing more, & nothing less.

Nothing more, & nothing less. How did Christianity invent mathematics? Did a miracle from God get us into outer space or performs a heart bypass surgery?

Greek philosophers came up with mathematics, back when they were polytheistic (sure there were a few atheists among them, but there again, atheists crop up among all groups, despite the fact that all cultures have their own religious beliefs). As for performing heart surgery: Christian monks were the ones that started hospitals. Saint Sampson The Hospitable
