Shh. Don't believe the American rhetoric about Christianity being democratic. If you want to see the root of that, it was the American Declaration of Independence. From a Christian monarchy. You also might want to read the Book of Revelations.
Christianity didn't bother building a society until they realized that the Second Coming wasn't going to happen in their lifetimes. They were mostly hiding out and praying and waiting. And it didn't happen. So they began working on figuring out a society.
Everyone: For those of you who are badmouthing what KevinG said, you might want to read the subsequent posts, especially the one Steve Pavlina wrote.
