Why does Alex say there was a unique awfulness of the transatlantic trade and then admit he doesn't know much about other slave cultures. He should also read Tom Holland's 'Dominion.' The Enlightenment developed in a Christian Europe.

@willmosse3684 Read it again. Holland is an atheist btw he has more than a Christian context to view how distinct the cultures that it produced are. You're too inside that culture to view it properly.

@willmosse3684 Yes. His point is to recognise that we in the West are all culturally Christian - the notion of every individual having equal value is essentially the Christian revolution's legacy.

@willmosse3684 Oh I see you're looking at how Christianity panned out in the real world. Well that was a mixed bag but the concept of equality which animates all the new-Marxist activism of today finds its roots in the teachings of Jesus. Please educate me if you can see other sources of this concept - Hinduism, Incas, Pharonic Egypt - where and when?
