<<The point of Christianity is free will, self determination, the importance of the individual rather than the state and individual relationships.>>

The point of christianity (like any organized religion) is to set rules to control people and maintain ideological and financial power. Influence in state matters is essential and ever present in EVERY western country. If a God does exist he/she would have to be nothing but highly disappointed in what is being carried out in his/her name with regards to a moral code. The carrot on the stick is the promise of immortality and it has always been and always will be the folly of mankind.
