Christianity spawned the enlightenment.

More accurately Protestant reformism, not Christianity per se. After all. The RCC had retarded scientific and technological advancement for generations until schisms became widespread.

But it's a mistake to discount the ideas of Protestantism in furthering secularism and early humanism.
