the enlightenment with all its scientific glory could only happen because of christianity and not despite of it. all the other religions and respective societies kept their people stuck in the mud. they were - albeit forcefully - dragged out of it by either advisers or colonizers from the west.

No, now fuck off

Didn't pagan europe invent science, astronomy, mathematics, philosophy, concrete, and complex architectute,

So? We wouldn't have been able to build the great palaces and structures that exist today without the knowledge some primeval ape-man discovered for how to slap mud together to make a brick, and how to stack those bricks into a hovel.
That doesn't make the hovel an equal to the great baroque palaces of Europe, or that ape-man an architect the equal of Michelangelo
