  1. A great example of how Christianity has influenced the subtler parts of our societies is “The Sunflower” by Simon Wiesenthal. You can see the stark contrast between how Jews, Christians and others approach a topic like forgiveness. Also, a lot of new age movements in the West seem to emulate the structure of Christian thought, even if they eschew the terminology. Self-improvement/self-help is often reminiscent of personal salvation and things like “we each have to consider our relationship with nature” often sound similar to “we have to consider our relationships with Christ”.

  2. My dude, new testament overriding the old testament is theology baby basics 101. Israelites lost holy favor, and the system gets tossed aside. 'Don't eat shellfish' never took root as something that gets to be relevant. You could metaphorically count on the head of a pin all the numbers of practicing Christians who even have a flicker of a care and there are zero theological liniages who hold that as denominational law.
