This is the popular understanding of Science and Religion. I'm not sure where he got all the sources, I could not find the sources for his writing.

Rodney Stark presents a different thesis, worth investigating.

Good book.
As a note: it's more of a history of the church and it's actions throughout the medieval periods to the present instead of the conflict between religion and science.
However, what it does do is explain the overall suppression of knowledge and how it profited from it which is why and this how the book ties the two together. The loss of absolute power it used to have is more of the driving cause and why it goes after anything that it views as contrary to both minor and major dogma in the faith.
I recommend it to anyone that would like a critical view of western religions as well as how different philosophical views affected religions and the conflicts that arose from it.… (meer)
