No the root of absolutism lies in religion, not the other way around. Religion in itsself is very dangerous and divisive and has been since the middle ages. It's not the "misuse" of it, simply being devout to it is enough. That's why the rational christians (and others) should stand up and evolve their scripture and abandon some ideas. Remove passages about stoning your children if they talk back at you, stoning your wife etc.

Well if you go back to the Renaissance, you'll see hundreds of scientific breakthroughs in the name of religion. Its not like it deludes from advancement. The misuse of religion in the case of old Roman Catholicism does yield advancement. Blind faith stops advancement. But religion in its correct use does not. You can be rational and be Christian. It may seem like they are opposite in polarity, but they are not if you use the mind we have been given. The root of incompetence lies in absolutism.
