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
