Can you name a couple of scientific breakthroughs that were discovered using religious or esoteric methodologies?

I am pretty sure the essence of your post was to give religion credit for scientific advancement.

I am sure it did. It was unheard of in society. It simply wasn’t acceptable and you can’t find any major figure from that time that professed to be atheist. Do you think everybody actually believed in God without exception?

We can’t explain conscience today. One day we will. The explanation will almost certainly not be gods.

Appealing to an infinite being doesn’t get you out of that trap.
You now have to explain this being how something infinitely complex came into being

That’s just a God of the gaps argument. Yes there is a lot we don’t know yet, that’s not evidence of a God.

In those days not believing in God could result in severe punishment including but not limited to being stripped of your position and being ostracised by society.
Today there is no punishment so people don’t feel the profess belief if they don’t have it and what’s more are not afraid to profess they don’t believe.

I mean none of what you said about Reddit allowing this or that is true. Reddit allows what the moderator allows. Period, end of sentence. Reddit the corporation doesn’t provide any kind of check or oversight on the censorship exercised by moderators.
Most of all Reddit emphatically does not create an open environment. Every subreddit quickly becomes a circle jerk as moderators ban and filter dissenting voices.

It’s interesting when you try to apply this to Reddit. In Reddit what you are allowed to say is completely subject to the whims and moods of whichever moderator is reading your post. The moderator is anonymous and their decisions are absolute, final, and not subject to any kind of process before or after the action is taken. They are also completely hidden from the public.
It’s basically censorship by a dictator.
Despite this Reddit sells itself as a free speech platform.

It’s not one of the commandments. Half of the commandments are about God himself.
BTW none of the commandments forbid rape or slavery out child abuse.

Five of the Ten Commandments are about God himself and how you are not supposed to think about other gods. Apparently jealousy is half of morality

Thanos removed half of everything though. He also removed half of all animal and plant resources. It was an idiotic concept.

MOND was created to explain the spin rate of galaxies. It fails to explain all other observed effects of dark matter and has been by and large put in a shelf as an incomplete and possibly foolish theory.

Can you name something that exists outside of the physical material world and also tell me how you know it exists.
Also would you agree that religion should have no role in medicine because medicine is in the material physical world.

What is the lane of science? It seems to me that given all the branches of science everything is in their lane.
The problem is that religions don’t stick to their lane. They insist on commenting on things such as whether evolution is real, how old the universe is, when life begins, nature of consciousness, what it means to be a trans or gay person and what kind of health care those people should be allowed to get.
