originally the church was about the only place you could get an education. both the people you just named are from the last 500 years and specifiically refer to christianity. theyre has been a long history (tens of thousands of years) of religion before that in which temples of all kinds of dieties were run by 'priest' that were more along the lines of engineers and scientist. we all know that in the last mellinium certain relgious beliefs have withheld scientific progression, but BEFORE that they were one of the only places in which people began to exercise scientific though. once again off-topic.
