I agree, people perverted Jesus' teachings into saying that you're only good if you do these things. Jesus, of course, would disagree. Really though, they didn't hinder society much more than communists and dictatorships have, which tend to be atheistic.

Personally, I believe Jesus wanted all people to be loved. He isn't a son of God to me, and I don't believe in God. I just respect him as a normal, good, high-moraled person.

Dictatorships didn't push back scientific advance 400 some years.
They did however, give us videos like this.

Dictators and communism can actually be learned from. Nothing makes you understand the importance of free prices than a society that manipulated them.
