historically many of the people associated with Christian faith have been a hinderance to scientific research and discovery. Look at the whole issue of stem cells.

Historically, most os the scientists are Christian

Look at the dominance of Catholicism during the DARK AGES and the lack of social or scientific breakthrough during that time. And who maintained the literature, arts and science for the world ? Hint: It was't atheists

The flat earth, the refusal of the existence of germs, and the whole four humours were all espoused by the Church. Galileo was condemned as a heretic. Am I making this stuff up?

You are mistaken about the issues regarding Galileo who by the way was a devout Christian.
