It doesn't behave better. It's coerced into being less harmful than it used to be, due to its irrelevance in the daily lives of millions of people coming from places with a Christian history, and more secular legal frameworks, which, you're right, where fought for tooth and nail.
Give Christianity a finger, and it'll take the whole arm. It's still as dangerous as it's ever been, but it's more contained than it used to be. Cf Poland, France, the Southern US, Russia on issues like abortion, feminism, LGBT rights, and even geopolitical stuff like the support of Israel thought to be a step towards the apocalypse.
The Southern US Y'all Qaeda types are proof that Christianity is just as backwards as Islam is, when given the opportunity.
Edit: I'm not opposed to you, I'm just adding more thougts to yours. Sorry if this sounded adverserial.
Oh absolutely, that's how i meant it. 100% agree.
Not the OP, but you're not coming across as adversarial. Those of us who aren't wedded to an identity over common sense can disagree without feeling attacked. However, I don't disagree with you. Everything both of you said is true, with your comment making both more true, if that makes sense.
I took my partner to a catholic church to check out the ceremony (she's from a non-christian country). We'd toured it before because it's very grand and impressive from an architectural standpoint. I try to view it through her eyes, as though for the first time (I didn't grow up catholic, but I'd been to many varied-christian masses). What a bizarre ceremony. Any people consider it completely normal. This reflection has nothing to do with the original topic. It's just something that crossed my mind as I typed this out.
