You do realize that many of the greatest scientific minds and advancements are from people that have a Christian religious background. Some that immediately come to mind are Galileo Galilei, Blaise Pascal, Leonhard Euler, Michael Faraday, Charles Barkla, George Washington Carver, Charles Babbage, and Samuel Morse. And many in that list believed they were better scientists because they followed Christ.

A westerner not knowing Hasan Ibn al-Hatham, Zhang Heng, and Aryabhata is less surprising (I learned their names in the last 15 minutes), but I think one ought to at least look for counterexamples before asserting any particular culture to be "better" at a thing.
