It's about the fact that for the most part countries with Christian background evolved into the most developed societies in the modern world.
Most developed countries are Christian???? no, most developed countries are the ones that moved away from Christianity and restricted it to priests who molest little kids. But for the sake of it, let's go over some of the most developed countries today:

Do Japan, South Korea, Israel, Singapore, Hong Kong or Brunei sound Christian to you? cut this crap and get off that bible.

Europe is culturally, historically and tradionally Christian.
Most Europeans are still Christians. All European countries still celebrate Christian holidays, most have Sunday closing, etc.

Indeed, Christianity is the world's largest religion and the dominant religion in North America, South America, Oceania, Europe, Central and Southern Africa, and parts of Eastern Asia.

Half of South Korea are Christians, and most Koreans living in the U.S. are Christians.

You need to take some history lessons...

All Abrahamic religions originated in the Middle East yes, but Christianity spread around the western world after the Roman Empire converted to Christianity in 4th century, while Islam spread in other smaller parts.

Thrace is in Europe. Anatolia is not. Thrace Turks are therfor Europeans, regardless of what you seem to think. Like somebody said, there's reasons for and against it, and I honestly don't know, but skin colour and religion should have no part in it.

Brunei? Just lol.
Brunei's sultan announces strict Islamic penalties - World - CBC News

The rest of them are basically projects organized by... yeah, those advanced countries with Christian background. (The laws, technology, know- how - you name it))))
Israel is probably the only exception and for a good reason.

Japan was a project organized by the West??

The industrial revolution began about 1870 as Meiji period leaders decided to catch up with the West. The government built railroads, improved roads, and inaugurated a land reform program to prepare the country for further development.

Erasure, are you by any chance American?
