It was the Christian Church who was subsidizing the scientific work that was being done in the medieval and modern period until the rise of the anti-religion types like those of the French Revolution. It was the Christian Church that created the university system It was the anti-religion secularists that chopped off all those heads. So atheism can make people to crazy things. The Big Bang Theory was invented by a Catholic priest.
That's absolute bollocks, what a bold faced lie. In the height of it's power, Christianity blocked scientific advancement at every opportunity it could, and most if not all schools it endorsed were likely religious ones.
The likes of Giordano Bruno were burned alive on "heresy" charges for daring to suggest scientific theories that contradicted The Bible. From The time of the decline of The Roman Empire until the secularist movements 1000 years later (this period was when Christian theocracy was in full-swing across Europe) there was shockingly little scientific or technological advancement because it was stifled. That's partly why the period is known as "The Dark Ages".
Even post-secularism, scientists like Charles Darwin faced vehement pushback from the religious for their work. Even to this day, we have people pushing creationism in schools over anthropology, biology and geology, and we have dangerous climate change denial. It's complete fallacy to say Christianity has supported science, it's a lie.
Do you think Christianity and science can coexist

Anyways individual Christians can be scientific, if they cherry-pick the shit out of the religion and see it as symbolic.
As a political force, none of The Abrahamic religions are (currently at least) pro-science.
