"Christianity gave rise to the greatest civilization of all times and all that is known in science.

Really? So there were no atheistic or agnostic or Muslim or Hindu or other religion's contributions to the current state of science?

All those Christians based their scientific work on their religious belief system?

"Other religions gave some, but only because they fed on the benevolence of Christianity.

So even if scientists have different beliefs than Christianity it is really Christianity which drives their contributions.

Instead of blindly believing your revisionist version of history perhaps you should investigate it a bit further.

How come that universities in India or Egypt today are made in pattern of Roman Catholic institutions of medieval Europe?

Should not rather Western universities use Eastern gurus as scientific authorities?

I said a little contribution came from non-Christians and only because they lived amongst Christian societies. Were it not for the benevolence of the Christians, non-Christians would have contributed zilch to science.
