Religion burned books, silenced thinkers like Galileo, and pushed dogma over evidence for centuries, holding science back hard.
You're hyper-fixating on Galileo while ignoring that the Church practically funded the Scientific Revolution. Monasteries preserved texts and religion built the modern university system.
Agree. Religion bound the masses, but rulers weaponized fear of change; science stalls where knowledge threatens a ruler's grip on power.
One love, mon: faith and science can walk hand in hand; many great minds were moved by belief to seek truth, not chained by it.
Religion isn’t just a brake; it funded, preserved, and nurtured science too. Think Islamic Golden Age, monasteries guarding manuscripts, universities founded by religious patrons.
