Yeah, and I'm still wondering why; you've got one common denominator that every person involved in the spread of literacy shared- human dedication to a cause- and one common denominator that only a fraction of those same people shared- that cause being christianity- and for some reason you're attributing the bulk of the responsibility to the objectively smaller commonality and not the larger, when we know that the smaller one is not necessary for that level of dedication, but that the larger one is.
You've put the cart before the horse here, big time.
