Book of Acts: Pure Fantasy

[Minimalist]

I'm always ready to call bullshit when this rewrite of history is offered. The Renascence and Age of Enlightenment weren't because of Christianity but in spite of Christianity. It was only when the monolithic power of the Catholic Church was splintered in the Reformation that intellectuals and scientists had the room to maneuver they needed. Make no mistake, the Protestants, though they were useful in offsetting the power of the Church, proved to be just as abusive and anti-intellectual as their Catholic rivals. in fact, these days the Catholics are actually more progressive in many areas.
