If Christianity had not been around, there would have been another religion that would have taught the same thing and there are.

What other religion in the world teaches that the Creator of the universe loves you as a father loves a child?

Paganism, certain types that is, have always taught that.

There are many different types of paganism, the most popular worships a Mother Goddess, who loves everyone as her own children, because she created us.

That's just one, there are others, but I do not have time to go into it right now. I am taking my children on a little field trip.
