The goal of this to show that they are actually good people? Because.... showing a few wrongly attributed quotes doesn't help their image or the historical context.
The afterglow of christian domination over western thought can be seen in the way our first and most important learned behavior is to separate "good people" from "bad people" as if anyone is purely one or the other, as if these are categories that carry any meaning of their own, and as if what makes a person helpful or harmful, kind or malicious, is some kind of innate essence and not a combination of their circumstances, intent, position and effectiveness.
