I know of no Christian Church that relegates nonbelievers to second rate status.
You know squat.
Think Armageddon and retract your foolish thinking.

"Nuh-Uh" is the best you've got?

How soon you forget that Christianity grew threw inquisitions and murder because they had no decent moral tenets to convert with.

Nope. It was to put down the cathar aggression. Learn some history. Inquisitions established the use of trials where none existed before.
Were the Cathars aggressive?

Feb 08, 2017 · Cathars were Dualists. That is, they believed in
two universal principles, a good God and a bad God, much like
the Jehovah and Satan of mainstream Christianity. As Dualists, they belonged to a tradition that was already ancient in the days of Jesus. (The revered Magi in the nativity story were Zoroastrians - Persian Dualists).
they were hedonists, not Gnostics. And they were indeed aggressive. They began murdering Catholics and as a result got a Crusade launched against them, deservedly so. The later Protestant propaganda portraying then as poor hapless innocents is a giant load of rubbish, as is most Protestant propaganda re Catholics. Most of the deaths of Cathars were at the hands of enraged mobs of locals, who knew them a lot better than the waves of apologists who came along hundreds of years later and pulled a lot of garbage out of their asses.
I thought the problem was that the Cathars were prosperous.
The apologists calim otherwise; they claim they rejected wealth n stuff like good Christians allegedly should, as opposed to the Evul Greedy Catholics. They were essentially Satanists for the most part.
I don't think the Cathars were Satanists.. They worshipped the Good God..
They were also in Southern France and Northern Spain.. Probably too far north to have problems with the Muslims.
You would be wrong; they had the weird idea that they were already saved, and since the Earth was evil they could do anything they want and still be saved, so they did; they lied, cheated people, engaged in sexual deviancy, and murdered people. Of course the sexual deviancy part is what appeals to most Xian haters today, since that is the primary reason they need to rewrite the theology and philosophy, same as Cathars did then.
And, your links merely proves the Spain region was indeed Christian before the Muslim/Jewish atrocities, and Catholic to boot, and was so by choice, and the Visigoths had to adapt, so we're still waiting on what point that was supposed to make. We know that the Cathars were mostly burned by their outraged neighbors, not rampaging Catholic priests.
