Religious institutions were really into books, plus they had a lot of money. Over time as people saw the benefits of scientific research, secular support for it grew. Also, science overturned traditional religious worldviews, leading many scientists to adopt views skeptical of Christianity more broadly.

Not quite, anon. It was the a priori assumption of metaphysical materialism that overturned some religious worldviews.

You just have to look at figures like Newton himself, he still fundamentally believed in magic like alchemy, but as the sciences analyzed matter more and more accurately, belief in magical disciplines like alchemy declined and so did belief in any religious doctrine.

Alchemy wasn't a magic. It's was just wrong understanding of chemistry. Chemistry looks like magic if you don't now mechanics behind.
