This is true. Including Hitler. Hope herr tRUMP doesn't imitate book burning.

But it was actually Christians that burned the library at Alexandria.

Religion and the state were (and still are in many places) entwined so anything that upsets the power balance is treated viciously in order to keep the supposed order I guess.

Family Guy tackled this one. The alternate reality was glorious, as I recall.

Considering that archeologists have found evidence of Egyptians and other ancient cultures who successfully navigated brain surgery, mapped human anatomy, and a whole host of other advances that the Catholic Church eradicated during the middle ages. We would be a lot further along scientifically without Christianity.

I think the Bible has been on of the most banned books in history, having a copy of it was enough to be burned at the stake by the church as a heretic. The average person was not enlightened enough to correctly interpret it.

I do not know. If not religion some other bullshit would have taken its place. Religion is also a creation of human imagination. Don't you think humans would have created something else? Do you really think all the fights that's going on is because of religion? Just do a research on the fundings of terrorist organisations, I am sure results will be mind boggling.

The middle east was home to great astronomers until the religion destroyed the scientific community and brought back the bronze age. This war wouldn't even exist if science had won out then.

I was extremely pissed off when I found out, it was the Christians that burned the Library of Alexandria.

RIP Library of Alexandria

Yes. One of my favorite scientists, Marvin Minsky (RIP) said, if not for religious foot-draggers, we would have cured death by now. It was too late for him.
