The fact is, all the most advanced nations are Christian, with only a handful of exceptions. That is because the early Church was influenced by the Greek culture, with its relatively enlightened views of philosophy, science, and the arts. During the Rennaisance, there was a revival of Greek knowledge, encouraged and funded by the Catholic Church.
The nations of Islam were once advanced, but they actually regressed and became backwards. The typical Muslim home has only one book, the Koran.
The non-Christian nations of Japan and China isolated themselves, and only joined the modern world after they realized they could no longer compete without adopting Western technology.
Atheists who claim that Christianity held back science are either ignorant, or lying though their teeth. The fact is, most universities, libraries, medical schools, law schools, and hospitals were founded by Christian organizations or Christian churches, until the modern age when governments begun to pick up this function.
