  > I get that you want to bash Christianity Not at all. The dark ages were dark. Pretending like they weren't because of your religious choices is just intellectually dishonest, regardless of your faith. Were they dark because religion was in charge? Yes. Atheists have perpetrated their fair share of horrors (and then some) as well. So have most/many other religions. Using weak language to avoid having to consider the horrors of the past helps no-one except those who wish to repeat those horrors. My objection is not to Christianity, it is to revisionists who want to pretend like Christianity didn't already have a go at being in charge or forget the monstrosity of what happened when it was.
