The dark ages, was a term coined by the Italian scholar, Fransesco Petrarca, a critic of the post-Roman era. The accurate term, however, would be the middle ages. A simple observation of humanity over the years would tell us that religion in one form or another was always in control. In fact, I would argue that, by comparison, the middle ages was relatively better than the eras before it, where slavery was still commonplace, and new ideas were usually discarded.
