This is a normal post That world exists.
A world where you do your day job for cash reward, but kindness, work done well and work you do for society all come with a much bigger prize. It's Christianity. We traded it for science. And I'm not entirely convinced that was such a good deal.

This is a normal post You mean the middle ages?
Lovely times those were!
Wife learnt how to read? Burn her at the stake like the witch she is etc.

Christianity moral values is stuffed a mile high up a choirboy's arse. Their perceived moral high ground is the cesspit of the worst depravity.
Let your priests marry and get to appreciate women with tits, hairy bits, the capacity to argue and make lovely children.
Maybe then they will stop stuffing the shrill voiced staff up the stuffing box.

Religion has in no way, shape or form helped humanity. Some people of faith helped, but their respective science fiction best-sellers did not.
Edit: I respect the fact that people have a religion, because not everybody is born with the capacity to distinguish right from wrong without a self-help book. But I despise ALL religions fairly and equally.

This is a normal post Not really
Christianity only really rewards people for being Christian. Someone amazing gets the same reward as someone awful who apologised, and I don't think it says anything about useful work being better than work-for-works sake.

Science should allow us to have more and work less, if capitalism wasn't so full of holes.

Would be more accurate. Anyway it's not coming back. And now democracy and, as you say, capitalism are the twin pillars of our civilisation. And neither of them are likely to reward volunteers, the kind or the quietly conscientious. But I suspect they're the best we've got.

This is a normal post It's not "Christianity", it's "being a decent human being"
Christianity is that plus carrots & sticks.
