Church Historical Benefits

Dear " Chief Elon Twit"

 I saw a YouTube video on the channel " Hyperpositivity" titled  Do You agree with Elon Musk? He stated in this video that poverty, undereducation and a high birth rate are connected to religious groups. I must say that I totally disagree with the statement in that video, for the following reasons. 

It may seem true that poverty, undereducated and high birth rate are among religious groups, however let's unpack this and look at the reality. Riches come from generational wealth which is strong in the judeo- Christian culture.

The bulk of the world's riches comes from generational wealth. Simply look at Europe, Australia, Canada and America, they have thrived for centuries with a strong Christian worldview.

One Australian Prime Minister recognized the prosperity and blessings of his nation over the past 200 years under the Christian era and stated that he wouldn't change their constitutional laws which are strongly Christian influenced.

The church's influences are declining in the inner cities, "Ghetto", where violence and crime are frequent with more poverty, undereducated and a high birth rate. 

Gallup’s poll research shows a continuing decline in church membership for more than two decades.

To offset these losses, religious Americans would need to have about 2.4 children each, and in some religious subgroups, even more than that. (By Lyman Stone,The Institute for Family Studies, August 8th 2022)

 Musk also stated that Christians are likely to be  less educated.  Historically most schools, universities and businesses have been established through christianity. This shows the importance of education to persons in this religious circle. 

In my conclusion,

the historical Benefits, values and impacts that  the church has towards society's growth, welfare and development along with the many contributions have benefited tens of millions. 

Throughout its long history, the Church has been a major source of social services, for example, schooling, spiritual development and medical care; an inspiration for art, culture and philosophy; and an influential player in politics and religion.
