Christians and their faith lead the slavery prohibition movement.

I don't know the history of the other things you mentioned.



After only two thousand years of enabling slavery. Slow clap.


That's a human problem, not a Christian problem. Cultures around the world enabled slavery.


Christianity's own scriptures and holy men called for the return of slaves to their masters.

Just because other cultures also supported slavery doesn't mean Christianity didn't contribute to that horror.
