Well, Galileo was held under house arrest and his books were banned. We do not put people under house arrest for heresy yet, but we do fire them from jobs and make sure they can't speak or write publicly. And we sure do ban (and sometimes burn) books. So yes, Galileo would probably find the modern culture better, but only marginally - and we haven't reached the peak yet... Maybe house arrests are coming too. Many countries already prepare laws that allow to arrest people for "hate speech" or "misinformation" - exactly what Galileo got in trouble for (it was called "heresy" then but tomayto-tomato).
