Christianity,besides having a rather moral decent leader that it was named after, approaches well the mysteries of human life. It has a great deal of Stoic philosophy at its core and I think this holds it together. Its ethics is fairly standard and it used to do what psychologists do today...help peoples emotional needs. Without drugs, it offered confession, advice. and the ritual of the Mass with all its facets of primitive religion. All I can say is that I am a member. Even if I "believe" none of it
