That's a dumb statement. The Church was the only institution that extended literacy, protected the treasures of classical antiquity and developed Western civilization in the era when barbarians were attempting to overwhelm Europe. Without Catholic monastics and Catholic Universities you'd be roasting rats on a sharp stick.

People do sadly forget what blessings a Judeo-Christian worldview has demonstrated in the world.

Perfectly, no, no, heavens no. Lots of balls dropped. However people have a funny way of appealing to the bible, not to the Bhagavad Gita, when pointing out the sort of conduct that a particular group of Christians has fallen short of.
