<That religion has been a beneficial influence in the west for a very long time isn't even controversial. > So???? So when I posted the same claim before you told me I was dreaming: Message 25579733 --------------------------------------------- So that means that the Church HASNT perpetrated all sorts of attacks on the advancement of knowlege throughout history As a matter of fact, it seems that is the case. And belief to the contrary seems to be a myth developed by a number of fraudulent (now debunked) historians more than a century ago. The main support for the premise you state would be Galileo's imprisonment. It seems that was more of an anomaly than the normal state of affairs. See the past posts linking to wikipedia and to historian James Hannam's site.
