Constantine was declared emperor in 306 AD at York. Honorius pulled Roman troops out of Britain in 410 AD due to sack of Rome by the Goths under Alaric who were looking for a new homeland since their territory came under pressure from the Huns,

Nonsense. How did the pagan myths, literature, jurisprudence etc survive till this very age were it not for the monks who copied & recopied these in the monasteries in times when printing presses did not exist?

Christianity was the main reason for the dark ages and why it collapsed. They were the ones that burned all the books, destroyed all the temples, and persecuted the Pagans. If you read the bible it is a very violent book that would saction such acts. Hence the dark ages. After the triumph of the Christ everything went down.

Though some Christian monks kept records, and most of the documents in Medieval Europe were preserved by those monks, the Christian clergy did keep the population dumb. Yes, there was a lot of information stored by them but it was not distributed amongst the people, so they didn't learn. So we can thank those Christian monks for saving those old documents, but don't go around saying that the Dark Ages weren't that Dark. The people were stupid and were kept that way.

Then we are of one mind. I thought you were accusing paganism in particular of slavery and superior feeling. But I think we can agree that humans of all religions and from all continents are cruel. Such is the human nature. I can not agree that Europeans excel above others in such cruelty. Look at the Aztecs, or a lot of Africans nowadays? We may have done some shitty things, but they sure as hell have too! But I agree that slavery and religion are seperate issues.
