I always hear that question from the PFJ in that the Monty Python film "What have the Romans done for us?" in these discussions about empires etc Think it sums it nicely for me.

An interesting thing I saw the other day also made me think. Jordan Peterson says he has been claimed by Muslims, orthodox Jews and Christians as theirs yet he subscribes to none of the 3. I guess being human wuth decency is ingrained in us all and supercedes all religions and beliefs - call it conscience if you want and I think that although I may not agree with your opinion I believe in your right to express it. The woke brigade can be as oppressive with their perceived extreme views and as someone with far left/right/religious perceived extreme views IMO.

What I think I am trying to say is theres a middle ground snd extremists either way are the problem.
