@ Chuck - I don't think that xtianity originated in the Dark Age, if that's how I came across, in fact I see it pretty much as you described in that the Dark Age became infamously so because of the religion's oppression. However, I don't think it can be denied that the religion certainly flourished during the period. Feudal societies tend not to last very long without some form of control of the masses and there's only so much you can do militarily before you run out of population. Keeping the populace fearful, most effectively through superstition which is viciously self-feeding in that it makes the people create their own fear with just a little push to get it started.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
