With all due respect, Jesus Christ, yes.

IMHO, other idealists who follow Him and His Word - not so much as “better” than us, but “good examples” might be more like it.

The others who proselytize just for politics or money (both?), not at all better than us. Just better B.S. ers

Earlier this week, the British Library announced it is now ‘reviewing’ its Sir Hans Sloane manuscripts as ‘woke’ activists target one of scores of London landmarks - including the famous Sloane Square - which are named after the pioneering doctor.
The move was revealed in a note on its website, and coincides with a wider review of Sloane’s legacy that saw the British Museum - which he founded - remove his bust from a pedestal and attach the label ‘slave owner’.

With all due respect, Christians are humble. Their faith is personal. They don't claim to others that there way is better. They try to be better people to demonstrate that their way is better.

It's why Christianity spread so quickly in the ancient Roman empire. It's why British common law was so readily established and persists to this day in India and Africa, with of course local modifications to accord with local customs. The results are just better in every way than what other systems of justice provided.
