Christianity, Divisions, Fear Manipulation, and Post Modernist Theories

[Silver]

Christianity spawned the enlightenment.

Actually, enlightenment was first sought through Hinduism. And also:

The Age of Enlightenment (or simply the Enlightenment or Age of Reason) was a cultural movement of intellectuals in the 17th and 18th centuries, which began first in Europe and later in the American colonies. Its purpose was to reform society using reason, challenge ideas grounded in tradition and faith, and advance knowledge through the scientific method.
