He sat the foundation of Christianity, there for he view humanity as Christians view others now a day. .
How he influenced the government.
If it wasn't for him, Christianity as we know it might not be the way that it is today. Since most of our population are Christians, I bet our government has been influence by it in a large amount of way. Just by the fact that most presidents have been Christians I tell you everything.
