Well if you go back to the Renaissance, you'll see hundreds of scientific breakthroughs in the name of religion. Its not like it deludes from advancement. The misuse of religion in the case of old Roman Catholicism does yield advancement. Blind faith stops advancement. But religion in its correct use does not. You can be rational and be Christian. It may seem like they are opposite in polarity, but they are not if you use the mind we have been given. The root of incompetence lies in absolutism.

Thanks Chris255. It IS interesting. Strauss led me to read Platos The Republic, starring my favorite character in the world after J.C., Socrates -- who reduces his interlocutors to the state of aporia. In Plato's dialogue called the 'Meno,' Socrates describes the purgative effect of reducing someone to aporia: it shows someone who merely thought he knew something that he does not in fact know it and instills in him a desire to investigate it.
