@angelaschone2847 Are you serious? In the west, except Rome and Greece, most European tribes were disgusting barbarians. Celts, Anglo-saxons, Yamnaya, Andorovo, Scandinavian tribes, Carthage people (child sacrifices), and on and on. They followed weird sacrifices like the horse sacrifice. Pagans. They were Pagans. where is your mysterious Secular origins of West coming from?
In Rome the early christians grew in number partly due to the ministry of St. Paul, a Jew. Christians were massively persecuted in Rome until things thankfully changed around 300 AD. Christianity was the religion of the lower classes of Rome, a highly heirarchical and rigid classist society. Chrisitanity welcomed both Jew and non-jew. It welcomed any and all ethncities to participate in their religion, unlike Pagan Rome or Judaism. It specifically marketed itself to the poor and not-haves. Over time, the religion gained heavy popularity, spreading into roman territories and even as far as Russia. This forms the basis point of modern western societies, there's nothing secular or pagan here. Today, our taken-for-granted moral stances are influenced by this religion, whether we like it or not. Most of our scientists from the Scientific revolution era were christians. A small religion from the middle east had a pretty big impact on the western world. To argue to the contrary that we are succesful cuz we were secular is ahistorical.
