Because irrational hatred is so ubiquitous that it goes entirely unquestioned (and even defended as you’re likely to see in response to this post), almost nobody seems to be aware that the scientific method was actually developed by the Catholic church as the religiously approved way to explore the mysteries of our world. The view that Christianity is rigid and exclusionary just plain isn’t supported by reality. You can certainly find bad examples and pretend you’ve “proved” something, but there are far, far more good people who aren’t brain dead zealots.
