They can show me & then I'd have to. It wld be hard tho. Evidence that Christianity today is v diff to late medieval one I study is immense

And that's good. It means that atheists, liberal Christians, liberal Muslims & more all have stronger values in common than religious ones.
-
Not to mention it doesn't mean that at all, that is a desired meaning from a singular perspective.

I don't know what you mean? Liberal Christians and liberal Muslims share humanist values with liberal non-believers.

And we can join on these despite our differences. That's how we have gender equality & same sex marriage despite religious values.

Yes then some becomes semantics. One can also oppose same sex marriage and not cry for it to be illegal punished by government.

Yes, but that was not what the Stonewall survey found.

In Ethical terms many observing Christians, Muslims, and Jews hold same tenets for thousands of years. Social changes

Some thing stay the same, yes, other things change. It depends very much on society. As it got less violent, so did religion.

The violent nature of the church, is not necessarily that of the religion (In Christianity very evident old->new covenant)

The position of the soul in a thought of afterlife is kind of a strawman with what we are speaking of as it relates to ethics today.
-
I don't know what you mean? It's literally true in Christian scriptures and theology & was held to be true for most of Christian history.
-
We speak of ethical guidelines here as it relates to interhuman ethics and social interaction, not afterlife metaphysical.

You might be. I am talking about ethics generally. What people think is right and wrong. A lot of Christianity doesn't sit well with us now.
