One system where people were initially encouraged to think for themselves was replaced by another where people were instead told to rely on blind faith.

That's progress for you.

Umm, not really. Philosophy was still a big thing, until the ecroulement of the Roman Empire(s). Also, a lot of the philosophy taught then, didnt encourage you to think for yourselves, but tried to fit you with their predetermined answers (**cough*Aristotle*cough*)
