Group wages legal battle to raise Christian flag at Boston City Hall

Despite not being a Christian myself, I do have a biased inclination to side with Christian culture (and by that, yes, I mean Christians collectively, their lore and holy books and rituals and ways of life, whether they are Baptist/ Catholic/ Methodist/ whatever, with maybe some exceptions) because this country wouldn’t even be here if it were not for Christianity.
It's indeed possible that many of the massacres and ethnic cleansings of the native inhabitants probably wouldn't have happened if it were not for Christianity. Dominionism, religious bigotry, and the persecution of heresies and paganisms formed an important backbone in the religious settlements of the early US.

My home is build upon the blood of those who lost their battles. If history had not played out the way it did, then I would not be here, nor would any of the people I care about. I have much to be grateful for.

Wounded Knee wasn't a "battle", and neither was the Trail of Tears.

I have been raised in the knowledge that genocides like the Holocaust are nothing to be "grateful" for, maybe you should consider a similar stance on crimes against humanity.
