I thought it was misinformed for the opposite reason. "Christian fervour" was responsible for the sailing of the Mayflower, the development of the modern public sphere, the majority of the high points of Western culture from Dante to Bach, and most of the values we live by today.

Is Christianity responsible, or did it just happen to be the dominant religion in the time and place where other factors lined up to make this happen?
