Said this, I am not denying that ironically the Church may have been crucial to start something that ultimately disproved her "truth" but the trouble brilliant people like Copernicus (who ironically was a Priest) and Galileo had to face makes me look with suspect at any religion.

Copernicus and Gallileo did not face problems with their scientific theories from the Church, but rather from the prevaling scientific orthodoxy of the day.
Men such as Tycho Brahe and Lord Bacon for instance also rejected Heliocentrism.
Also Gallileo's work was published at the behest of senior Churchmen
