Let me think...yes I've got it now!
I am conscious because I have consciousness. End of debate.
I an aware because I have awareness!
Awareness is the state of being aware! Being aware is the result of having awareness!
I missed my calling, I should have been a philosopher.
To the OP most people did not have slaves. Slaves were a luxury that cost money.
Yes te vast majority were Christian orb a theist belief. Like Deism.
That most people did not have slaves does not mean that most people were against slavery. Or that most people were not racists.
In the context of colonial British experience the 2nd Amendment was intended to have an armed population as a hedge against an abusive government, and to support militia as a ready reserve. The founders did not want a standing army that could be used against the people and for militray...

The wave-particle duality.
When propagating in space we model ilight as a wave with electrc and magnetic fields.
When interacting with matter we model it as a particle with a wavelength.

You are 'going off the rails ' so to speak. Grasping at straws trying to get around your inference that most 19th century Christians were not pro slavery.
Incoherent babbling. Should a slave be punished for raping a slave? Where the hell does that come from? Sounds like a biblical interpretation.
Keep in mind slaves were not cheap to buy or own.
Most Christians or anyone else probably could not afford slaves.

My experience says Christians and atheists are collectively no better or worse that each other. It is Christians who clam a superiority certain;y not born out through history and today.
There are atheist theologies for lack of a better word as shown by Carrier and others.
As to wealth or any...
Anyone in my generation who grew up in and went to school in the RCC even if we are atheist now always feel guilty without knowing why...:D
Seriously, Christianity is built on guilt. In the RCC your are born with original sin, and the only way to get rid of it is by being baptized in the...
