Straw Man

"That is the idea–that we should all be wicked if we did not hold to the Christian religion."

Russell is missing the point here. The Christian argument, as least a consistently presupppositional one, doesn't assert that everyone would be wicked without Christianity, but that without Christianity, no one can philosophically justify the moral values he upholds.
