I would argue it was the educated "liberals" who provided the leadership for all three; and indeed the evolution of our modern humanitarian civilization!!

It wasn't the church that gave us democracy, ethics, the scientific method and our modern civilization, it was modern education and the liberal mind.

Religions have been around for thousands of years, but it has only been since we invented a written language which facilitated modern thought by transferring knowledge from one generation to the next accurately, and modern public education that catapulted us into the modern humanity we enjoy today!

Education is the key to both our morality and modern civilization, not religion. Where was religion when we had slavery and dictators? it was education that ended slavery and gave us democracy.

History is very clear about that.

"Are you not aware of the penalties in the middle ages for heresy or apostasy?"

And yet, the religious community provided the moral leadership for the Abolitionist, Civil Rights, and Anti-war movements.
