The African-American author and political columnist [[Thomas Sowell]] wrote:

{{cquote|While [[slavery]] was common to all civilizations, as well as to peoples considered uncivilized, only one civilization developed a moral revulsion against it, very late in hits history…not even the leading moralists in other civilizations rejected slavery at all…. Moreover, within [[Western civilization]], the principle impetus for the abolition of slavery came first from very [[conservative]] religious activists – people who would today be called ‘the religious right.’…this story is not ‘[[politically correct]]’ in today’s terms. Hence it is ignored, as if it never happened.”<ref>Sowell, Thomas (2005) The real history of slavery. In Black Rednecks and White Liberals. San Francisco, CA: Encounter Books</ref>}}

== Atheism and spiritual slavery ==

Jesus said, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8: 34-36). The popular Christian YouTube creators [[Shockofgod]] and Jezuzfreek777 point out that atheism keeps people under spiritual slavery and Christianity gives people liberty.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1Ti0jxz8DU Atheism promotes slavery]</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgsABl3lKlo Atheist are slaves]</ref>
