Seriously, how bad is your position that you have to scrape the bottom of the barrel like that to say that the dominant belief system of the day (which was enforced violently, not much freedom of choice there) had any impact on empirical discoveries? Let's not forget it was the fucking religious authority that fucked Galileo for being right about something they held sacred. Religion gets zero credit for the discoveries of science and all the blame for impeding it whenever they're involved. They are diametrically opposed and fundamentally in every way incompatible and you prove your own ineptitude by making the mistake of claiming otherwise, and to continue to do so beyond being corrected like this means you're a goddamn liar too.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
