While these areas where "making contributions to humanity" they were religious

  They stopped being religious while making contributions to humanity. As if they burned through their stash. Also, this is exaggerated. Greeks and Romans did awesome things that nobody could reproduce until XX century while being "pagans". Christianity just stole those results, tried to pass as their own.

Christianity did not steal anything, they built on existing knowledge. No one is denying that. Every generation builds on what previous generation knew. You think Christians should have the thrown out knowledge from pagans in the name of honor ?

      I think they did, for a few hundred years? Islam held onto some stuff over that period, and then decided to just trade knowledge policies with Christianity.
