If the inquisition and other actrocities and setbacks in the name of religion had never happened, do you think we would be living the science fiction life today that people like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Gene Roddenberry dreamed up?
Not to say that religion would have never existed but rather had never had setbacks in early science and astronomy and other discoveries that might have been discovered hundreds of years ago had it not been for religious fear, censorship, and condemnation at the hands and minds of extremism in religion.
So, if religion had never been so extreme and hundreds of years ago we were allowed to advance without religious setbacks, like the inquisition, would we be more advanced?Perhaps even have settlements on the Moon or Mars?How far do you think we might have advanced without religious setbacks?
