I think you are just being optuse to win an argument.

I very much doubt that. The science of refining metals which is key to space travel wasn't suppressed. Nor was navigation.
Electricity was not suppressed by religion, nor combustion, navigation. The scientific method was invented by Islamic scholars. Rocketry was invented by the Chinese and I can't see where religion suppressed it.
Please show me where religion suppressed computers, basic math, internal combustion, transmission of data, radio and advanced communication, the telephone. Pressurized travel.
I very much doubt your claim.
