What was left behind in science had nothing to do with the religion, but rather the conquering feudal kings who felt they should do away with everything their once Roman masters held high. It wouldn't have mattered if Christianity existed or not. The Byzantine Empire still held strong in science ad math through out most of the Western dark ages and it was very Christian. The great Church Ayia Sofia is an architectural marvel and it was built in those terrible Christian years of no progress.

So we have nice looking churches instead of time travel

More like, art is created anyway, but when the church was the THE dominant power and had all the money then artists made christian art. That simple, look at Michaelangelo's work. It's not like he wouldn't be an artist today but his themes wouldn't nescessairly be christian.

it's become fashionable for some people to say " oh im not religious, but spiritual", as if yep i know of the negativety associated with calling myself 'religious', so i'll use the euphemism of 'spirituality' to be more accepted.
what is spirituality? whenever I hear the word 'spirituality' my forehead gets closer to having a permanent frown on it. I haven't been given a definition that isn't abstract yet. it's as kooky and spooky as other religious concepts. It's seems like a word designed to create warm fuzzy feelings and goosebumps just like 'gaaawwwddd' without even become close to being discerned as to what the word actually means. The only spirits I can relate to is the drink I buy my mate or the presence of wet paint.

lmao its faith, belief in something greater than yourself. easy to understand. organized religion is some mass religion that tries to poke its head into politics and push its own agenda, even though they don't pay taxes. simple shit.
