Atheists often accuse religious people of being anti-science. They cite past examples of superstitious religions like the Catholic Church persecuting men for great scientific discoveries. For example, they claim Galileo was burned at the stake for stating the earth wasnt the center of the universe. Under this pretense, they believe religion is holding science back from solving the worlds problems and that once the human race abandons all belief in God, it will be propelled into some kind of scientific utopia.Do they ever make this complaint against de, 'ow you say, indigenous pipples???

Galileo was not burned at the stake!
He was under house arrest.
The whole Galileo-Catholic Church conflict was not as black & white as is popularly taught. The Pope at the time was far more sympathetic to Galileo’s views then against. Galileo’s impatience, international pressures & the challenge of Protestantism provoked a reaction that made Galileo collateral damage.

They just think religious people like Christians are no smarter than the indigenous pipples.
(A lot of them are startingly silent about Islam, too. Not all, but a lot).
