Overall, scientific rationalism harmed European religion because educated European people began to question the beliefs of the Catholic Church rather than just accepting centuries-old ideals, undermining certain fundamental beliefs of the Church and slightly decreasing its reputation.

Explanation:
The Phoenicians invented an alphabet of 22 characters denoting consonants. This alphabet then became the basis of the Greek, Latin, and Slavic alphabets. They radically improved shipbuilding, laid routes to the very ‘limits’ of the world known in their era, and even significantly extended these limits. In a sense, they became the first “globalizers" – they connected Europe, Asia and Africa with an all-pervasive web of trade routes.
Their method of building the fleet implied the introduction of certain standards, and, therefore, some system of measures and weights. These standards became common in the Mediterranean region. For example, the king of the Greek city of Argos - Fidon - introduced a unified system of measures of length and weight ("Fidon measures"), based on the Phoenician standards.
During the Muslim conquests and the reign of the Caliphates, the people that were conquered were treated in terrible manner in general. The Caliphs wanted their religion spread among all the people they ruled over, which led to forcing the people to accept the Islam against their will, the ones that opposed were usually murdered and enslaved, there was an Arabic assimilation going on, and multiple systematic genocides. The women that were not Muslim were taken as slaves in the harems as the holy book was suggesting exactly that. All the people that were not willing to accept the faith were tortured, harassed, enslaved, murdered, didn't had any rights, and were considered as beings on the same level as the pigs, filthy creatures that do not deserve to live. The biggest damage was done toward the Christian and Jewish communities.
