Giordano Bruno was a Dominican monk. He worked to help this along, and if you look at the Age of Enlightenment, many of them were religious even though several of them questioned organized religion. This is what I mean by this not being religion vs. science. I know you didn't say that outright, willravel, but I figured I should point this out for the benefit of the thread.
