How about the Germanic tribes? They conquered most of Roman Europe long before they converted to Christianity.

It seems more likely that the Dark Ages were directly caused by the Christian Church after original Christianity was taken over and perverted by Rome.

I think that's true. Although a Jesuit will try to convince you they saved the books.

The hatred of learning and philosophy by the Church culminated in the burning of the world's greatest library at Alexandria

That was the Muslims. Ordered by a Caliph, I believe.
