My dear you should read about what Christianity did your ancestors in Africa.
There's a fact to support it.----
King Leopold of Belgium sending Christian missionaries to Congo said.----
Your knowledge of the gospel will allow you to find texts ordering, and encouraging your
followers to love poverty, like “Happier are the poor because they will inherit the heaven” and, “It's
very difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

@eMortal Oh God. You cherry pick and think you have made a persuasive argument? maybe YOU should read how Christian missionaries saved the Amazonian Indians by annihilation by the Spanish and Portuguese.
Funny thought how most of today's Congo is still Christian. Maybe you ought to go down there and clue them in on King Leopold. And thank you I've read Conrad...have you?
Ahh...my "ancestors" in Africa? What exactly are you talking about or don't you know, my dear?

@Abrienda Christians crusaders got a taste of their own medicine. After the Council of Nicea Christianity expanded expanded by preaching and brute force. If they had to fight the Muslims Invaders centuries later it was just normal. Muslims copied the Christian Conquests playbook.
You have no idea why South America and Sub Saharian Africa are underdeveloped? Well the answer is Christianity. Its doctrines of kindness, love and poverty induce severe naivete into the mind of the believer. Leaving him/her vulnerable to extortion. It was the intention. That's why most colonial expeditions had a missionary. Research on the subject and let me know if I'm wrong.

@eMortal You have no idea what you are taking about. None. You are a bigot so there is no use trying to have a rational discussion with you,
Also your arguments are intellectually infantile - literally. It's called a tu quoque argument which as the kind little children or those with the sophistication of children like yourself use. To quote you, Google it.
May I also recommend in your never ending list of authors you never heard of the French writer Camus? He nicely explains why someone else doing something wrong is no moral or intellectual justification for doing the exact same thing.
So...if Africa and South America are underdeveloped because of Christianity, then all Europe and the USA are highly developed because of...Zoroastrianism! I always thought those places I saw I Europe with the beautiful architecture and peaceful interiors were built by CHRISTIANS! Now I see I was wrong ..they were built by Persian FIRE-WORSHIPPERS!
BTW if your latest asinine argument is true, then why are MOSLEM countries in Africa also undeveloped and oppressive beyond belief? Why was China a third world country for all the modern era?? Why is India one of the filthiest places on earth? Of course! CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES!
Look it's now just too easy to make you look ridiculous. I am not sure if it is stupidity or ignorance or simply hated that makes you make such juvenile and a historic arguments However you are living proof of the idea that a little education is a bad thing.
In your case, very little.

@Abrienda So character assassination intellectualism is your forte? I didn't attack you personally.
The point I'm trying to make is, there's a correlation between Intense devotion to a religion and material poverty. All those regions of the world you mentioned have that in common.
I don't deny that there are good Christians. What I'm saying is that Christianity has its share in the afflictions the world has suffered. The author of the question shouldn't be painting Christian Crusaders has heroes.
