How can you study history thoroughly and not remain a committed christian ?
1) Functional non-christian societies are functional on account of their alignement with justice (respect for life, property, virtue) and fall once they become misaligned with those laws. The cyclical rise and fall of all empires shows the supremacy of God's laws that cannot be violated without consequences. No non-christian society lives forever by championing anti-christian values such as the murder of the unborn or usury or adultery. In fact, our account of civilizational decadence is essentially an account of how abandoning virtue dooms societies to fall.
2) Christianity enjoys the most divine favour any religion has ever enjoyed. No religion has ever expanded its dominion to all corners of the Earth, enjoyed such a wide and long lasting preeminence in Europe, Africa, the Americas, nor had its sacred book become the best selling, most read and studied books of all times. Look at a map of world religions and see how predominant Christianity is, no religion has ever achieved such expansion. A world religion map is the carthographic equivalent of Gustave Doré's Triumph of Christianity over paganism. Islam by comparison remains confined to its historic Middle East-North Africa axis, Hinduism is forever locked in India, Buddhism is dying in its original South Asian sarcophagus.
3) Christian doctrine acknowledges that the prosperity of believers and their nations is conditional on their obedience to God. At the peak of their piety, Spain and Portugal shared the world together, Victorian England had a quarter of the planet under its crown despite being a mustard seed-sized island, reminding us of Isaiah's prophecy that "the wealth of Egypt and Ethiopia will be yours, and the tall men of Seba will be your slaves; they will follow you in chains. They will bow down to you and confess, "God is with you - he alone is God. '' God exalts and humbles nations, with no favoritism.
