> the Abrahamic religions have only been in the ascendancy in the Mediterranean and Middle East for approximately 1500 years
Judaism transitioned to the form familiar to the current one 2500 years before now. Christianity became a state religion more than 1600 years before now, Islam started its conquests some 1300 years before now.
> it would be a similar generalization to assume that Chinese thought has always stayed on the rails of Confucianism
And nobody claimed that. Just that all Chinese schools of thought weren't so primitive as the Abrahamic ones. I quoted Confucianism and Taoism in my post.
That the Abrahamic ideologies managed to poison even Chinese territories isn't anything to brag about, in my humble opinion.
