People bring this up so much but I dont think they think it through. 

Western civilization is based on humanism and the enlightenment. Both of these went directly against the mainstream religion of their time and were attacked by their practitioners relentlessly.

The enlightenment was the secularization of the concept of inherent human rights, which are a concept that comes from both the Christian church and old germanic law. Consider how enslaving other Christians was outlawed in the Dark Ages on the basis of universal Christian dignity, and the institution of the germanic "Thing" in which all men were given a vote on how to organize the tribe. Effectively speaking, the enlightenment formalized knowledge on things that people already had informal knowledge on.
