Has religion interfered with advancement of science/technology as much as people believe?

by JiiV3e

People tend to blame religion (mostly Christianity) of interfearing on advancement of science (The bigest example people tend to give is Galileo Galilei) Is there any more examples like this. Also What I have read religion has also been a big influence on teaching people, when there was no schools. Has religion actualy done more harm to advancement of science?
