The fact that some people may idneed have had a bad stint with Christianity in the beginning, doesn't mean everyone else did.

It were Greeks fleeing to Persia in Justinian's time that preserved most philosophical texts. And under the rule of Theodosius and the state religion many libraries were destroyed out of irrationality, the few things we know about certain schools is because Christian thinkers gave their criticism, thats not an act of preserving for the love of knowledge.
700,000 books of literature, philosophy, history and science were destroyed in Alexandria, Delbaeth, whats your defintion of preserving??
