The most depressing thing of all is when ppl encounter "bootstrapping" and only see "control"

What do you mean?

There is a clear phase in our history which was long and no progress was made "Dark age". In that time religion already existed right?

So what was the speciality of christianity apparently bootstrapping everything else? You could only be religious if you had resources to do so. Could have been filled with something else instead.

Napoleon wrote somewere (i read that in a museum) that education is ncessary to fight religion.

We do not know if it hold us back or not, but it also didn't push us through phases like the dark age.

But religion is primarily for control of the people. Thats why you see a lot of rules in the bible. Like paying 5 silver for raping a woman and having to take her as abride.
