It was nuts, simply by virtue of being strongly influenced by christianity? The abolishion of slavery was (very) strongly influenced by Christianity—was it also nuts for the same reason?
I can think of other good arguments for the 80s being nuts, but “being more strongly influenced by Christianity” is not.
Are you intentionally picking the stupidest possible interpretation of what I wrote? Surely you can think of a more charitable interpretation than that.

The abolition of slavery was (very) strongly influenced by Christianity—was it also nuts for the same reason?
Yes. Abolition was a good thing; but it’s insane to think that it was good because the Bible opposes slavery.
