in the 14 century did Islam or Christianity have a greater impact?

Answer 1

As many of stated, it depends on where you live. In Europe, Christianity had the greater impact upon the people. However, the 14th century had even more of an affect than normal because there were a couple of schism that rocked the Christian world. First, the Papacy moved to Avignon, France during this time. In 1377, there were two popes, one in Avignon and one in Rome (which was not resolved until 1415 at the Council of Constance). The affect it had on people was tremendous given they were all suffering from plague, famine, and war. With Christianity in trouble, many people turned away from the Church and new heretical groups start popping up throughout Europe (Lollards in England as an example).
Islam had an impact, but was not as great as what was going on in Christianity at the time. Islam was coming out of its own golden age in which advancements in science, astronomy, medicine, and philosophy were beginning to take hold throughout the Islamic world. Islamic ideas even began creeping into medieval universities as the great Islamic philosopher and doctor Avicenna became a staple of Islamic thought in the west.

Answer 2

During the 14th century, Islam enjoyed greater influence because Christianity at the time was dominated by the Roman Catholic Church, which forbade reading of the Bible by commoners, and sunk Europe into the Dark Ages, which were so-called because the Light of the Bible had almost been extinguished. One could be tortured or executed for even having a single page of Scripture on their person. People were not aware of the Truths in the Bible and thus became mired in superstition, paganism and pseudoscience. It wasn't until the Bible, via the Waldenses and others, was translated into the vernacular languages of the common people, that it and its ideas began to spread like wildfire, and the Reformation was born, along with advances in science. There are many scientific truths in the Bible that weren't being followed during the Dark Ages, which is why the Black Plague had such a devastating effect. (By the way, evolution is NOT part of real science, so we need not worry ourselves that it contradicts Scripture. It is a metaphysical research program - which is another subject I could write several books about.)
Anyway, during this time, Islam was leading the world in mathematics, with the invention of Al Jabr (algebra) and the engineering of buildings not seen since Babylon.
