"What Christianity does do is a bang-up job of sparking the human imagination. Depending on whose imagination and what they imagine, this can lead to glorious works of art, or Crusades and witch-hangings. I don't consider it either inherently a good force or a bad force, only a force in the mind that is molded by what mind it occupies, and what is already there."
I very much like that summary. Much like any other force or tool, or for that matter the human mind, really, it's neutral in itself and the effects are what people make from it.
