What a stupid poster. For one the "dark" ages did have quite a bit of practical advancements happen with regards to technology. 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.

All of these practical advancements happened in the last 500 years of the middle ages when the medieval system started to change, above that most of these advancements were reinventions of inventions from the Roman era.
Denieing that Christianity didn't set us back is an ignorant claim, every aspect of medieval life involved god and looking at the ruins from the different era's you can immediately see how much more advanced the Romans were.
All those kings you claim are the cause answered to the Church.
The aya Sophia was originally built before the dark ages started and even before Christianity was the imperial religion
Even the renovated church was build before the darkages started, Christianity was the imperial religion but only by a few decades and you just don't slip into the darkages overnight, why they just set the date at 500.

My point is that the Byzantine Empire has nothing to do with the Western Europe Dark Ages. But in the Western Dark Ages before the rennaisance we did see the invention of and advancement of many things including shipping changes, wells, eye glasses, etc. That's not the point I was making though. That was just a side note. The main point is that Christianity had no such "dark" effect on Eastern Europe, and Ethiopia being another example. Pick your battles with Christianity, and accept that whatever went backwards after the fall of Rome had to do with who took over rather than what God was being believed in.
