>The reasons that lead us to refer to the Islamic Golden Age as such justify just as well that we should call the Renaissance the Christian Golden Age.
I don't want to stay in this thread much longer, but here's the issue with that statement. Islam has always been a political and social entity since the very origins of the faith. There was never a secular/religious divide in Islam. Meanwhile Christian Europe always had some division between secular/religious, even if Christianity in the past was much more linked with politics back in the day. I get what you are saying and yeah the Catholic Church funded so many of those Renaissance arts. But European cultures are ancient and they always had an identity that extended past the Christian religion.
