everytime religion shows the great civilization which way to walk. some people above said civilization and religion is not mixed, they are not only mixed i would say they are interelated with each other. one fulfils the necessity of another. take the example of late roman empire, when they move their capital to constantine it was religious reason. then pope in power to control them and orthodoxy christianity grew in some places at the same time. and the fight between iraq and US is also a fight between religion as some american conservatives would like to say. so religion and civilization they are different but they are part of the same body, like ear is religion and hand is civilization, u need each other to get succed just like that . christianity grew cause western empire grew, otherwise it was just a cult from jeruselem.
