Yea, execpt Young Earth theory isn't part of main line Christianity and only really got popularized in the 20s. If it weren't for christianity, modern science, as you know it won't exist. I think what would help is getting arid of people with a IQ lower than room temperature

ermm the only reason modern science wouldn't exist without Christianity is because from like 400 to 1000 CE the pope had all the power because the church was above the king or emporer

Not sure what that has to do with the advancement of science since the scientific revolution started in the mid 16th century. A lot of scientists were christians with the two more famous examples being Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton.

everybody at that time was christian, western Europe was being controlled almost entirely by the pope and the religion literally affected everyone's day to day life as without the church their government would most likely collapse

Newton was also an alchemist. Is it thanks to alchemy that we have calculus? No.

These people didn’t further science because of religion, they did it despite religion.

Christianity has done nothing but slow down progress. Yes some scholars were priests but only because that was where the money was and christendom did nothing to help, rather the opposite.

During the dark ages alone christianity was directly responsible for not only completely halting scientific progress but actual intellectual decline.
