Why was it important for Greek philosophical thought to be cast out during the growth of Christianity in Europe?

One of the distinguishing features of the western Christianity, going back even as far as the second century AD, was that it was not as influenced by Greek philosophical thought as Christianity in the eastern half of the Roman Empire. It helped to give western Christianity different emphases than those found in the eastern Christianity.
I cannot think of any substantial change that happened in Christianity in Europe as a result of "Greek philosophical thought being cast out of Christianity in Europe."
The biggest change in Christianity in Europe arose from the Reformation. Even on the Catholic side, this resulted in the decisions of the Council of Trent, which eliminated many of the abuses identified by Martin Luther, but without making the changes in doctrine that he called for.
The changes in Christianity at the time of the Reformation resulted from closer attention to the teachings of Christ, not from casting out Greek philosophical thought.
