Why Slavery and Colonialism were the purpose of Christianity

Tutankhamun (1336 BC - 1327 BC)

While disagreeing with my article titled; Slavery and Colonialism: the purpose of Christianity, a commentator pointed out that ‘Christianity existed way before British/American slave owners used it for their own twisted advantages.’ 

He also noted that ‘some of the earliest followers of Christ were Black people. Just because nations that didn't even exist in the days of Christianity's birth used it wrongly doesn't mean that how it (Christianity) was used was its purpose.’ 

Apparently, the commentator and I are of the opinion that the Europeans used Christianity for ‘their own twisted advantage.’

Slavery and Colonialism: The Purpose of Christianity

I was born into a Christian family (Methodist) while my secondary education was at a Methodist college. As you can see, I was brought up as a Methodist.

Then, why didn’t my father and his generation follow the religion of their fathers? The answer is simply that the British colonialists asked them not to.
