The only reason why it is the most important religion is because it is the most inflaming religion to our views. Much of Islam goes in the face of what is agreeable to many christian influenced cultures. You don't have to be a Christan to acknowledge the importance Christianity had on creating the modern culture seen by most of Europe and America today. If Christianity was not a part of our shared history, perhaps we would see cruel punishments for minor offenses a little less cruel, the strange minarets a little less strange?
