You don't seem to understand the point. During the first 300 years of Christianity, there was no free flow of information. Had there been a real free flow of information, and a understanding of physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics, the Christian death cult would have died out long ago. Its survival is merely evidence that people are unwilling to think for themselves and learn about the universe they occupy.

I'm curious, though, what makes a religion verifiable? Is there some quantitative measure by which I can measure religions? Is it maybe how many people have been driven to murder or suicide by their god? Maybe how much scientific progress has been hampered by closed minded religious zealots? Or maybe how many people any given religion has managed to scam for money? Please let me know, so I can go about the business of deciding which religions I can stamp with the '100% valid' logo.
