"Christianity may have started out as a radical departure from the accepted norm."

'MAY HAVE?'

(LOL!)

"It was at least a departure, exactly how radical depends on what aspects you care to focus on."

Little more radical in the entire history of mankind....

"But that doesn't mean that its still a departure from the norm,"

Well... yes, why yes it does. That's pretty much the accepted definition for the word 'radical'. :-)

And, at the time of Christianity's inception... it certainly WAS quite the 'departure' from the dominant religions of it's day!

"... or that any radical departure from it is automatically a good thing."

(Eh? That last one is entirely from your imagination. I never uttered one word that suggested any such thing....)
