In a recent debate between Hitchins and Wilson the question was asked and debated "Is Christianity Good for the World?". Below provides some tangible evidence that yes indeed it is (Watch recent debate between the two over the existence of God at Hitchens vs Wilson on the existence of God in 12 parts).

Not only is Christianity good for the world but many in the international and even in America criticize America for its lack of foreign aid via the government in comparison to other countries. But what they fail to calculate is that Americans don't give through their government they give out of their own pockets and when you tally up foreign aid via government and personal donations then America is right up there in the top (see Americans outgive the government in global aide as Americans are the most philanthropic in the world... and US stinginess in foreign aide?/Organized Christianity abuses power and money?/Big Business' portrayed as corrupt?). Also, see the benefits Faith and Family have to society at label Faith and Family Philanthropy in not only aid but in preventing costs to society.
