Religion means we're where we are today at a literary and mathematical level. Without monasteries, churches, abbeys and Islamic temples, we would simply be at least 300 years behind where we are today in the fields of reading, writing and arithmetic. In the dark ages, religious institutions were the only place in the Islamic and European world where such fields were maintained and researched.

There's one positive outcome, I'm too busy write down the countless others right now.
Wow, so much ignorance in one post. The dark ages were dark because any kind of scientific advancement was blocked by the church. If it wasn't for religion we'd be 300 years ahead of where we are now.
