"Would atheists stop believing in astronomy if they found out that Galileo was a Christian?"
Before Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species, every scientist was a religious fucktard. Even today there is a small minority of scientists who are theists. They disgrace their profession.
Religious fucktards discover stuff despite their childish god fantasy, not because of it.
Religions contribute nothing to human progress. They just get in the way. For example:
In 1633, the Inquisition of the Roman Catholic Church forced Galileo Galilei, one of the founders of modern science, to recant his theory that the Earth moves around the Sun. Under threat of torture, Galileo – seen facing his inquisitors – recanted. But as he left the courtroom, he is said to have muttered, ‘all the same, it moves’.
359 years later in 1992, the Church finally agreed. At a ceremony in Rome, before the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Pope John Paul II officially declared that Galileo was right.
