critical Roman philosophers had just about turned sky gods into a laughing stock, and then bastardised (Hellenistic) Judaism turned up.

set us back?
 
Obviously not. The benefits of Christianity throughout history:

The personal transformation of billions of human beings

The preservation of the western world against the Islamic world and paganism

Some of the greatest art in existence

Some of the greatest music in existence

Some of the best literature in existence

The foundation of the political ideas for individual life, liberty, equality, exercise of conscience, understanding of human nature in terms of the need for checks and balances, and the importance of the rule of law, applicable to all regardless of status

The moral underpinnings for charitable organizations, including two of the largest in the world - the Red Cross and the Salvation army

The foundation of thousands of hospitals

The foundation of countless schools, colleges, and universities, some of which ar the most reknown schools of all time

The ending of slavery

The foundation of scientific exploration

That's a short list.
 
If you also believe that vitamins are bad for your health.Was atheism good for the Soviet Union? Why did they have Chernobyl?
 
industrial revolution could've happened way back then and by today's equivalent date if the dark ages had never happened we'd already be flying around the universe and colonizing many planets. but that doesn't matter because without Christianity we wouldn't have been able to enrich our souls no matter how much technology improved.
