Well, Western civilization started in Greece around 750 BCE. It was a pagan civilization until the 4th century CE. Actually, Christianity's weird system of morals may have contributed to the collapse of western civilization in the middle of the first millennium.

The fact is that western civilization's uniqueness is not related to Christianity.
I think that's why some historians draw a line between Classical Civilization and the Christian-influenced current Western civilization.
El Moose Monstero: That would be the winning song at Eurovision. I still say the Moldovans were more fun. And that one about the Apricot Tree.
That said...it is growing on me.
Thanas: It is one of those songs that kinda get stuck in your head so if you hear it several times, you actually grow to like it.
General Zod: It's the musical version of Stockholm syndrome.
