I'm sure none of those cultures thought that before Islam was introduced

or does Christianity have a civilizing effect on the savages?

Quite frequently it does. See Imperial China. After missionaries started spreading Christianity in the 19th century, it was the Christians that rose against and tried to stamp out things like foot-binding, concubinage, polygamy and slavery. Or see Sati in India. It wasn't the Christians practicing that. Or barbaric human sacrifices practiced by European pagans that went away after conversion to Christianity.

No, Mormons are not Christian.

My strip club guide says basically all the strip clubs in the Middle East are in either Tel Aviv or Lebanon. And they appear to be in the Christian parts of Lebanon.

Also despite a smaller population, the Philippines has WAY WAY more strip clubs than Indonesia.

Islam's tolerance of pot is nice though.

That's cancelled out by direct intolerance of alcohol. Christianity clearly does tolerate alcohol if not abuse (something a few fundie don't get) and is overall neutral on pot. I doubt even jmfcst or someone could argue that the Bible condemns marijuana use as significantly worse than alcohol.
