> Democracy and Liberalism are offshoots of Christian culture
This is completely wrong. "Christian culture" was perfectly content with feudalism and the absolute monarchy for over a millenia. The French Revolution was explicitly secular and anti-clerical, because the King had total support from the Church.
Similarly, "Christian culture" was used to justify slavery. So when it comes to Liberalism, can we correctly attribute it to the Enlightenment thinkers instead of the obscurantist Church?
