What is Christianity impact on society?

Answer 1

It is not clear what you are asking, as this is not a question.

Christianity is relevant across all cultures. The death of Jesus as - "the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world", John 1:29 - and the the gift of eternal life God offers is available to people of all tribes and nations.

Becoming a Christian does mean certain aspects of a person's culture will no longer be desirable for them. This applies to Western, Asian, Middle Eastern, or any culture.

For example for someone who lives in a culture where animal sacrifice is a way of appeasing spirits then the knowledge that comes with Christianity of who God is and His sovereignty over all His creation - spiritual and material - will have a liberating effect for that person.

John 8:32 you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

Answer 2

Christianity has been a big force in Western culture, providing material for literature, art, ethics. Unfortunately the impact has not always been good as some Christians do not have open minds about ideas that are not Christian--this has resulted in censorship and destruction of non-Christian culture. There is still too much racism, sexism and homophobia that is still supported by Christianity. But there are good Christian influences--like gospel music!!

Answer 3

In medieval times Christianity was the main focus and source of art, music and culture in Western Culture. Nowadays, Christianity is one of many sources and inspiration for the arts. Sometimes Christians attempt to exert their influence on culture such as promoting censorship.

Answer 5

It all depends upon the society you refer to and from whose point of view you look.

Here in Australia, the Koori (Aboriginal), lived in harmony with nature for 40,000 years. On the arrival of Christian Missionaries they were rounded up, forced to wear clothes, their children stolen from them and placed in Mission Stations, the men and women were treated as slaves, housekeepers and servants, sexually abused and killed by the hundred's of thousands - leaving a trail of broken people, the ramifications of which we are still dealing with today as a society.

New Guinea has a similar story as does American history and the treatment of the Inuit and native American Indian - today on Reservations, originally the worst land the settlers (thieves or invaders is a better description) didn't consider as being worth anything.

As I said, it all depends upon which side of the equation one looks. For to the Christian it looks as though they were trying to educate a bunch of savages - ignoring the fact that those savages took better care of the earth and the land than the co-called civilized Christian (Just look around at all of the pollution we are leaving the next generation - and you want to call that civilized!)

Answer 6

How would one be able to tell how cultures are influenced by this religion if there is such a mixture of ethnicities following this religion. It's not really how it influenced the culture, but how it influences the people.

Answer 7

First of all, what is christianity? Its simply means Christlike person having his/her faith in christ and emulating his ways and following the commands of Christ.

Now has Christianity influenced culture? Yes it has influenced and will continue to influence culture.

In the past centuries and millennium ago, the basic tribes on the surface of this planet believes and worship idols as we can referred to the study case of the Israelites before they were saved from Egypt by moses the servant of God. Then with the emergence of christianity, idols worshipping reduced drastically, learning to read and write became a thing of interest, referring to twins as evil changed and of course the killing of twins stopped.

In those ways I can say Christianity has influenced culture.
