>The way I see it, the situation with Galileo (and many other people) had more to do with those people who were in authority at the time than it did with the religion itself. Much has been done in the name of religion, but in many cases you find that the motiviation might not be so pure.

The bad apple excuse is weak. These people didn't raise through the hierarchy by falling from Mars and just wandering randomly into the institution - no, they were raised within that same religion, and it hasn't found fault in them, it elevated them to such positions.

Famous Lenin's "thugs in our ranks", yeah right.
