"Much social reform followed from Christians involved in politics , following their convictions."

Pete, much the same can be said of any ideologists following the dictates of their beliefs. But beliefs don't make it right. Christians are a large minority of religiously-affiliated peoples in the world, true. But then so are Muslims, Jews, Hindus and others. Buddhists are basically non-theistic and although I'm not Buddhist, I am also a- or non-theistic.

Some religions like Islam and Christianity would perceive me/label me as spawn of the devil, but I'm not.

I don't support any religion--and I won't--just because the top guy behaves like a Mafia don and his followers like apostles who hang around to ensure everyone listens to the don. So I try to follow a simpler trail and listen to reason instead of platitudes. When humans are subservient to religious 'systems of belief' it makes me wonder what they'll do in the name of their leader, because after all is said and done, they read from their own rule book and despite my having read and understood the books, I just don't agree with much that's being espoused.
