That's a bit of a stretch. Just because the history of science includes many relgious people doesn't mean the scientific process couldn't have been developed without those beliefs. How do you know it wouldn't have happened sooner in the absense of those beliefs?
Because it didn't? Before Christianity, the Western world had the mindset that the world was governed and ruled by the whims of the gods. Christianity offered the mindset that the world was created to operate in an ordered way, by an ordered God. It was because of Christian doctrine that people got the idea that they could study, that there were natural laws to find, that they would be repeatable...

The philosophical mindset of the majority of academia changed. Naturalism became the filter of choice.
Newton's ID told him that even though his laws of gravity explained simple planetary motion, it's all so fabulous that god must be directly responsible for putting the solar system in motion. Now we know better.
We do? What do we KNOW about the beginning of the Universe? Please, tell me what you KNOW, dogg.
Job 38:1Then the Lord answered Job out of the storm. He said:

There's that word again, KNOW...
...even if we don't yet have all the answers to meet his "unreasonable burden of proof."
But, wait... I thought you KNEW...
It sounds like we don't even need science anymore. Cool! We KNOW...
21Surely you know, for you were already born!
You have lived so many years!

31“Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades?
Can you loose the cords of Orion?
32Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons
or lead out the Bear with its cubs?
33Do you know the laws of the heavens?
Can you set up God's dominion over the earth?
