What Good Is Christianity?
I just ran across a fascinating compiliation of the positive influence of religion (and Christianity in particular) on society: Good Faith.
The author gives extremely specific examples of how faith helps with issues such as substance abuse, marriage, parenting, altruism, sex, crime rates, health, happiness, and freedom.
It’s an impressive list.
So the next time a classmate (or professor) begins talking about all the evils that religion is responsible for, be sure to mention all the good that religion is responsible for as well.
