I don't see why you feel Christians should be so grateful, when it was them who defended and propelled our race forward for so long, and allowed us to exist alongside them in the first place.
To tear off all the troublesome branches at once is to invite rot. I don't want to lose Christianity all at once when they've proven to be so effective over the millennia.
They're going to continue to moralize and soapbox, but that's a very minor annoyance in the grand scheme. The religion will decay naturally over time as IQ increases, I don't see the gain in propelling it over the edge when we may need it again.

Christianity has, but it is now assuming vestigial limb status and standing in the way of the expansion of individual agency. Historical christianity has primarily been a means of control which the modern, non-degenerate simply does not explicitly require, in that circumstance it is a stifling influence, not an empowering one.
The only way christianity can become a more spiritually pure expression of itself is by losing the pretext of social control.
As I've mentioned, christianity is pre-enlightenment spirituality, for people not intelligent or knowledgeable enough to make decisions for themselves.
We simply don't live in that world anymore, christianity as a dominant force in society is waning specifically because individuals are finding irreconcilable issues with their own personal agency and their desire for spiritual fulfillment.
To claim we require christianity to avoid "degeneracy" is utterly ignorant, and is the gambit of the authoritarian and the manipulator.
We're never going back, you need to realize this, and no, conflating the absence of christian-centric society with the present trend which is explicitly catalyzed by perverse left wing thinking is a deliberately specious argument.
Ideological christians are on the decline in the west, and christians no longer have any power to enforce their beliefs on others, I'm not talking about voluntary gratitude, I'm saying christians need to be glad they're not being marginalized completely.
You no longer have social leverage, you never will on a large scale, you're going to have to get used to it or be left behind.
