I'm not sure if this kind of thread has been made before or if this even is the right part of the forum for this. Either way here it goes.
This is something I often ask myself and I think it's a pretty interesting topic to explore.
Imagine for a second, a world (dimension if you will) where religion never got the same hold of humanity as in "our world".
How do you think such a thing would affect the scientific and technological advancements of humanity? For example, if Christianity never was made up there would have been no dark ages to suppress science and medicine for 500 years, what would the effects of those events have been?
One idea, one I find very likely is that if since science and medicin never had such a setback maybe we'd be at a level of technology and knowlege today equal to 500 years into the future from now.
Of course there could have been other events leading to totally different outcomes but the main idea here is that this "other dimension" never was affected by religon nearly as much.
Anyway, let the brainstorming commence!
