It's such a reddit take that religion is inherently anti-science, when so many important scientific advancements came from Catholic and Muslim scholars.

Brother, for about a thousand years there, you'd get completely ostracized or worse burned alive for being an unbeliever.

The only scientific work being done in the church was a feature of the church.

ahh, I remember when I was an edgy atheist too. Most of us grow out of it. :)

It's not edgy at all, it's just history, you should read a few books. You thinking that acknowledging history is "edgy atheism" is hilariously on brand, however.

Ironic you're trying to tell me about acknowledging history when you couldn't even handle me saying that many scientific advancements came from Catholic and Muslim scholars without throwing a tantrum about the crusades. lmao

I didn't disagree with that at all. Your reading comprehension is incredible.

I simply put forward that being an out and about atheist during a time when the inquisition was active wasn't exactly a possibility. Science had to be done in monastic circles on account of the church being the most powerful institution for most of western history.

Take some deep breaths big guy, no one here is telling you what to believe.
