Um and just when do you think the middle ages happened Polaris? The usual dates are from about the 400s to the 1600. So if Christianity dominated Europe from the 700s onwards, then it would be mostly Christian right? --- Though actually it began dominating those parts of Europe outside Rome and the Middle East between 200 and 400 CE depending in where in Europe you're talking about and only lost the Middle East to Islam in the 700s.

The Christian Church faltered when the Roman Empire fell. When the Holy Roman Empire was instituted, it regained its clout. It's a faith that barely survives unless it is the state religion of an empire (or an entity closely resembling an empire). The barbarians tended to stick to their own religions (there were a few of them who were Christian) and it was they who ruled Europe after the fall of the the Roman Empire....they gradually converted over the course of the next couple centuries until 732 CE when their world changed.

The definition of the Dark Ages that commingles the term with the Middle Ages is almost as outdated as breakthroughs from the Middle Ages itself and is based upon piss poor historical recounting from the Italians.

I will agree with you that the middle ages weren't entirely a time of retrogress or stagnation. My history professor said it himself, many people wrongly think there are no positive aspects of the middle ages... This is of course a lie, the middle ages had better moments, more or less intermediate moments and bad moments. Simply many bad moments out-stand the good, even if we consider the bright side.
