perhaps the family unit is cultural and its modern use stems from Christianity ��
and perhaps culture is inseparable from race ��

The family is a stronger unit in many shithole countries compared to Western Europe and especially America. Strong family unit = corruption. So its not the cure all for societies ills. It certainly does not stem from Christianity
Christianity means a thousand different things to a thousand different self-identified Christians, and is not responsible for school shootings, imperialism, or American greatness. It was coincidence.
Obviously, people are religious. The most powerful country is going to have a religion. That religion happened to be Christianity. Which again, means whatever people seem to want it to. ATM "not-Muslim/Buddhist" seems to be the working definition of most people. Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, the million different kinds of protestants with all there different political views.
That is not a cohesive unit. Except for when your trying to round people up to oppose faceless and nameless Muslims and communists.
Edit: its particularly stupid to solo out the culture that invented the "nuclear family" and then -- out of all ways to explain it -- hold up the religion Christianity as particularly pro family. In fact. I think you might be the exact opposite of right. I think Christianity may not sufficiently support family, put too much emphasis on the individual and their salvation, and this decrease in family loyalty allowed us to pull ahead building up to WW2. The decline of America probably coincides with increase in family loyalty, friendly ties, and corruption.
