I don't just dislike christianity, I dislike all religions.

For one thing, you shouldn't spread the lie that Copernicus' books were burned by the church. 

Here is an article from Physics Today, a publication of The American Institute of Physics, describing the true story.

I'm not finding where in your article it says that they did not burn Copernicus' books. Could you provide the page and quote the passage? Instead, the article notes that, " was essentially a propaganda war against Copernicus," and, "But the Catholic Church, being a much larger and more tradition-bound and bureaucratic institution, was left clinging to its anti-Copemican views for a long time. Its ban on Copernicus remained until 1822, and his book remained on the forbidden list until 1835."
