Christians and Christian apologists like to pretend that Christianity led to social progress, when at every turn, the church had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the modern world, and only then claimed the progress as their own.

You certainly don't have to be a Christian apologist to acknowledge the unique contributions Christianity has made to the development of the west.
English is not my native language - could you help me understand where I gave the impression that Christianity made no contributions to the development of the west?
What contributions to the development of the west are you attributing specifically to Christianity?
Do you also acknowledge the bad side?
