Kind of what I was thinking. Torba's "I only support Christian businesses" is valuable as hardly anyone will complain or care if someone complains about it. And its value has more to do with who it excludes as opposed to who it includes.
Intertwined with Christianity is a whole host of rules and traditions that lead to a good solid stable family life. It focuses you on what is really most important. Christians over all have done an extremely shitty job of being able to explain why these were good important rules and paths to follow in life. They just knew that it was in the rule book and that is they way it was always done. But these traditions and ways of life lead ot several successful generations. Only know do you have people on the likes of 4chan coming to many of the same conclusions as Christianity having to figure it out the hard way. And honestly, it is great to know the "why." You can convince far more people of the important of these traditions instead of hitting them over the head with a book yelling of hell and damnation.
Hell, Christianity can even help to make up for shitty parents who don't properly teach their kids the right path for a successful life. If they don't get the message from their parents, they will catch it in church.
