Very few have fought engineering and science as such, but historically the biggest culprit was the Roman Catholic Church for several centuries in Western Europe. They crushed learning as a whole, for learning might lead to questioning of dogma.
The Ancient Greek philosophers who developed various branches or formal mathematics and the notion of a geocentric universe, larded it all with a spurious "secret society" ethos to keep the knowledge within their circles.
Presently, some fundamentalist Islamists think no-one should learn any more than that necessary to read the Koran - and the Taliban of course detest anything female enough to stop girls even learning to read - but it's not so much a pogrom against science as a social control method. They don't know that science and mathematics flourished under early Islam, which after all was invented by a well-to-do merchant with an educated, equally successful wife!
Some minor para-Christian sects hate anything modern; or pick and choose branches of science to abjure, again for social manipulation and control. many such people use the internet, TV etc to spread their message; the irony has not yet penetrated their stultified, brainwashed intellects.
Pol Pot's hyper-Communist Khmer Rouge used a similar approach in Cambodia - ironically Pol Pot himself had graduated from the Sorbonne.
An uncontrollably-learned community is a dangerous community to a dictator.
All of them.

Industrialization brought significant changes to religion by challenging traditional beliefs and practices. It led to the rise of secularism as people started to prioritize scientific and technological advancements over religious doctrines. Additionally, industrialization altered the social and economic structures, impacting how individuals engaged with religion in their daily lives.
For many people, religion trumps all other aspects of their lives. Religion is a huge aspect of culture. As culture is something that defines many countries, therefore religion is a defining trait of countries. Religion drives people to make certain decisions and choices economically. It determines lifestyles, which influences spending habits. Therefore, religion plays an economic role in the world.
No, it is scientific theory
Of course its jainism
I have the general impression that the increase in scientific knowledge has had a tendency to reduce interest in religion, or even belief in God.
The important changes that the Israelis made to world culture and religion were technological and medical orientation and the affinity of religion and obligation.
Egyptology is not a religion. Egyptology is the scientific study of Ancient Egyptian culture and artifacts.
