We can happily and easily disprove the idea that Judeo-Christian cosmology “damages society” by comparing the modern secular society developing after 1500AD with that of the Christian society before it.
You’re cherrypicking features of the society. I could respond by pointing to feudalism or slavery, for instance. Having less hospitality but no slavery seems overall positive.
I’m pretty sure you’re exaggerating what hospitality requires. If it was actually required to feed and house all beggars who come to your door, people would be overwhelmed by beggars.
“Judeo-Christian” here doesn’t make sense. You’ll have to at least include Islam. And even then, I wouldn’t say that non-Judeo-Christian-Islamic religions made the society especially horrible. Ancient China and Japan weren’t great, but in ways comparable to how “Judeo-Christian” societies weren’t great.
“Judeo-Christian” cosmology “causes problems” by holding science back. Obviously, ancient societies had less science than we do, so this is perfectly consistent with reality.
