The Influence and Legacy of Christian Values
Christian values, whether we realize it or not, underpin Western society. These values are evident in aspects such as equality, compassion, consent, enlightenment, science, freedom, and progress. They have become deeply ingrained in our culture, shaping the way we think and act. Even when these values are detached from their Christian origins, they continue to be influential and widely accepted.
