Sounds like hyperbole. Let's not forget that Carl Sagan was not an academic historian.

You can read the argument for yourself, in The Demon-Haunted World..

By the way, are you an academic historian? Just curious.

Quote:They were easily as energetic in the external projection of their religious energy, if not more so, than modern Muslims.
I don't doubt that. But that really says something, doesn't it?

Quote:That some widespread Muslim opinions of today regarding women for example can be compared to Christian Europe during mainly the 1500s and the 1600s.

It shows how far Christianity has evolved and how backwards some commonly held Muslim beliefs are today.

If you have to compare Christianity to Islam in order to make Christianity look good, well, gosh, I'm underwhelmed.
