I’m wondering what “Ye Olde Statistician” ‘s sources are, as he/she appears to be almost the only one not ranting from a bumper sticker or some popular-level psuedo-intellectual book about “what really happened”. And my goodness, you can hate “religion” (a term so vacuous as to be meaningless in most usage, and almost all usage by those who hate it), but to believe in outright fabricated history is just lunacy. Know how to spot a nutcase (or worse, a normal person who is a nutcase about one particular topic)? Look for someone who says, essentially, “Most/all problems are caused by X”. People who hate “religion” remind me of the fundamentalists in the U.S. who blame “those godless liberals” for everything.

Uh, there was a “great period of peace among western nations” in the Middle Ages just because it wasn’t religion they were fighting over? Where do you get that? Peacefulness just wasn’t a Medieval quality; it wasn’t even particularly admired.

[...] On closer examination, however, the Renaissance was not such a sudden change. There was a continuing quiet evolution of thinking even in the “dark” ages and much that is attributed to the Renaissance came in fact from Medieval times. See here. [...]
