Worth noting, that the Chinese for example have been MUCH less tied to religion an atheist like... and in fact, are more likely to be at a "lower level" on the pyramid. You could make the same arguement for say... the Japanese. These are countries whose philosphies and morals were largely based on secular ideas and ideals... vs western morality which is nearly unseperable from Christin morality in it's formation. |
One cannot simultaneously claim everyone in "a western democracy" is at 5th or 6th level of moral thought, and then claim that it's due to being rooted in Christian morality.
Christian morality is 1st level. It is straight obedience. I also can't help but notice that you claim that the same argument for Chinese being "at a lower level" applies to the Japanese... even though the Japanese have a democracy, and you claimed that 5th and 6th level thinking in the vast majority of people is "pretty much a requirement" for democracy.
In short, your logic doesn't make any sense.
