Ok but I dont agree I would think it would be larger than that.
A good example was when women were trying to read and explore science and they were acused of witchcraft and killed for it. Nothing like taking out half of your brain supply.

What? Where did I say that? I said that we're at least 100 years from doing any vacation trips other planets, and religion isn't the reason for it. Religion hasn't held back science with respect to space travel since we started gallivanting around our solar system 50 or so years ago.
Are you saying that you think that religion
has held science back so that we are scientifically ######ed by a century? Hell, a century ago we were still moving people around on our own planet by railway, we weren't even bright enough to figure out how to pack them into airplanes. Yet, without religion we'd have colonised space?
With respect to your example, that's an example of just how stupid the human race is. Religion has often been a mechanism to deliver the stupidity, but is not the cause... mankind is the cause.
