Your don't need to only rely on reason for that.

It's quite obvious it's true when looking at history.

"Idle hands are the devil's playthings" is a really stupid saying, unless one truly does think of the devil as the Lightbringer.

Honestly the more one reads into history, the more one realises just how progress stifling Christianity has been. (Or Abrahamic monotheism in the first place.)

When the people around modern day Greece started having extra fish and wine so some of the ppl could take it easy and just chilax, they basically came up with the central ideas that are still central to our modern society. Democracy, morality, freedom, etc.
