Is religion the only thing slowing progress? What about general ignorance regardless of religion. Also, paradigm shifts are just as often slowed by academic rivals clinging to entrenched positions. They have to die before new ideas can get aired.

Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot...all atheists, all bigoted and violent. Religion can be a convenient cover for the evil, but it's not the cause.
