Also I've just got to be honest here with this one- it really chaps my ass if I'm being frank. If you can just bear with me here, I've got this itch and I just really have to scratch it.

You talk here in this post about European colonies. Just about all of which would have been established well after this Christianization of Europe. It's real hard not to get the impression here that this isn't just an emotional or resentment driven outlook when the apparent rationale seems to be:
>european decline coinciding with a widespread belief in Christianity? Must be because of Christianity
>european rise coinciding with a widespread belief in Christianity? We'll just ignore that
It's just bizarre
