Did christianity hold back or accelerate science in history? Nobody ever seems to agree on that around here. So is this graph accurate or just bs?
Also, would we today live in a more scientifically advanced world without christianity, or would we be less advanced? or roughly the same?
Pic related, it's one of the graphs everone constantly shits around.

We've had this thread so many times that I have to assume that it's just bait.

No OP, Christianity wasn't some awful nightmare that held back science for years. The graph is completely made up (what' the metric for scientific advancement again? Oh, fucking nothing). And this is a shit thread.
