    Because of Christianity, there was a need to have the Renaissance to begin with. The time was not called dark age because it was great. What an odd way to look at history.

    Extremely progressive religions… Sounds like a contraction to me.

      Yeah but Christianity WAS progressive for its time. It was a time salvation was exclusive to secret clubs. It was a time where only the special would be granted “salvation”. It was a time where women were seen as spiritually inferior and couldn’t be saved at all.

      The Renaissance is just a deepening of Christian values. And the Middle Ages were not dark at all, I thought we all had overcome that silly misconception. So much philosophy and science was born in the Middle Ages.

      Read Spinoza or Rumi and tell me the Middle Ages were dark lmao

      Your view of history is based on pop-history of the 90s. That is an odd way to view things.
