How do they sound?
Does the information below sound (grammatically) natural in your native English speakers'ears?
The information offered online:
Are you confident that your ideas are consistent from the beginning of the discussion?
Let it be known: the purpose of understanding history is to better serve reality.
You've told us - "More than 200 years ago, the populations of both Great Britain and the United States were in the majority christians."

Ipso facto, you did defend the religion.

Background information is quite long that it seems to be not suitable to post here.

Purely in terms of English (ignoring the overall coherence), it is mostly fine.
Strictly speaking, in the third paragraph, I think one should say that the populations were "Christian", not "Christians".
I feel slightly unsure about the use of "since" in the fifth paragraph. Probably it would be better to delete the word. (However, if this is a verbatim transcription of dialogue t
