It impedes scientific progress w/ bogus morals and the best excuse
Not true. A lot of religions embrace science. Just not the big three of Christianity, Judaism, and Islamic which all came out of the same source. There's man faiths such as Kemetic, Alchemy (Yes it's a religion), etc that view man and god as co-creators of the universe and believe that god uses science just like we do and that these mysteries are here to challenge us. These religions don't put limitations on people like the big three. They challenge people to be responsible for their own mind, body and spirit and not worry about everybody else and their beliefs or morals.
What a better place if the big three followed suit.
You DO realize that Jews and Muslims were responsible for most of the scientific achievements that brought about the Renaissance, right? Jews tend to be among the world leaders in science, winning more Nobel Prizes per capita than any other group, by a long shot. I think you know a fair amount about Christianity, but you're using that to project onto other faiths. It's academically lazy.
And how many of those Jews are staunch in the faith and attended the synagogue every week? Einstein? No. Oppenheimer? Nope. Freud? Still no.
Just because you're born into a religion it doesn't mean you practice or believe in it. Also just because people achieve greatness in a field it doesn't mean their religion is supportive of their findings.
While I certainly know more about Christianity than the other religions, minus some of the pagan or earth based religions, because I was raised in it it that doesn't mean I'm academically lazy or that I don't know a fair amount about those as well.
Watch Bill Maher's Religulous.

What Islamic contributions are you thinking of?
