Christian philosophy was, in fact, developed by Christians.
Actually, Roman Catholicism was fairly tolerant towards heretics; there's this giant 2000 page book called "a history of the Spanish heterodox" which lists hundreds of interesting heresies which existed in the tiny country of Spain alone. The USSR, by contrast, liquidated more people in an average year than the entire Spanish inquisition did over centuries.
Religious bigotry and pig ignorance isn't a good look. Preposterous statements about philosophical ideas being "stolen by the Christians" is on all fours with ... I can't even parse how stupid this is. For that matter, modern ignoramous atheists such as yourself have stolen heliocentrism, calculus and classical physics from the Roman Catholics who invented them.
