    Who remembers when this used to be an actual real history documentary channel? What a shame

    Christianity gets criticised constantly nowadays yet it seems many other religions get a free pass. Can’t criticise say Islam or Judaism without being called islmaphobic or anti-Semitic and the belief that Christianity is anti-Semitic is a lie also.

    Where did humanism originate from? Humans. Western culture only records stemming from Christian culture. That says more about the records than the concept. Don't confuse the map with the terrain.

    "The truth of people's belief is irrelevant to history". That has to be one of the most absurd things ive ever heard.

    Just think how humanity might have developed without the influence of organized religion?

    RELIGION IS MAN MADE !!! Jesus died for our sins..believe or not your decision. All will find out in the end. The Bible is True 👍
  • In essence, God wants to make this earth eternal, the same as the eternal age of the sun, aka stars, aka stars, that's why Allah created religion so that this earth would be peaceful without religion, meaning that this earth only thinks about itself and the earth is willing to make humans war continuously but calmly, Allah revealed the Koran. 'an to perfect a book that was not yet relevant in its time
