"Christianity is bullshit, but it gave us human rights and Western values." Christianity didn't give us 'Western values.' Greek and other philosophers discussed ethics in greater detail. Christianity was a step backwards. The Enlightenment gave us these values, not the bible.

Cultures are fun when they're about clothes, art, food or dance. But they're worthless as a basis for moral standards. Don't look to culture for guidance just because your ancestors did. Find the values that have proven to work and adopt them regardless of where they come from.
