You can thank religion for a lot of major hold backs in human history.

Nah it's just fear, fear of the unknown, what people don't understand or can't control. In the past religion was used as an easy excuse but the same happens today. People try to ignore/bury the really radical world changing ideas because they are just that. Don't forget that many of the great scientists over the last few hundred years believed in God (not talking about Einstein who was agnostic at best).
