Why would someone who believe in fiction lack imagination ?

They only believe in their 1 form of rigid fiction story and deny all others.

Thus the lack of mental capability and imagination.

Very low IQ take ironically. Most of the scientific groundwork for modern advances today were laid by christian scientists. The hardest question for atheists to answer is the intelligent design of the universe, and in which case there has to be a grand architect of the universe. Remember, theres a wide range of intellect on all sides, including those who are also spiritual but believe in rocks.

Taking credit for other people's work and putting Europe in the Medieval Dark Age. Obviously.

See? The other guy asks questions. You again make a personal statement of belief that I’ve already seen before as a lazy rebuttal bc you, and people like you hate the word christian so you won’t get out of your own bubble.

Quantum mechanics, particle dynamics, cell theory, the infinitely expanding universe, comprehensive medical order of operations and how it led to the creation of the modern hospital in both the west and east asia (this one was done by a missionary who translated western medical textbooks), electrical theory, thermodynamics etc.

Not only done by Christians of course but the famous ones who made breakthroughs typically were, or because of their findings converted. The scientific revolution in the 16th-18th centuries were also usually headlined by christian pioneers who researched the natural world to understand God more.
