The alchemists were the first chemists. They mixed chemicals, but also believed that magic would help them in their experiments and formulas. It didn't. But their chemical experiments eventually led to the science of chemistry.

What factors brought about the development of the science of chemistry from alchemy?

Alchemy was abandoned because it didn't work. Some of the things that did work became chemistry. No one successfully turned lead into gold. Nor did anyone successfully create the philosopher's stone. Alchemy was basically chemistry with a lot of magic thrown into it. The alchemists were sorcerer want to be's. They attempted to conjure spirits, and use spells on chemicals that they believed contained magical properties, all in a vain attempt to convert base metals into something of greater value. Even Isaac Newton, probably the greatest scientific mind of the last 500 years, accomplished nothing in alchemy, even though he experimented with it for decades

Was Alchemy really the religion of Jesus and Muhammad pbut when they were children?

No. Alchemy is essentially a medieval concept. The gospels say that Jesus was a Jew by religion. Matthew and Luke, in particular, demonstrate the importance of numerology to the early Jews, and we know that astrology was also important, but there is no mention of alchemy. The Prophet Muhammad was brought up as a pagan, and a close relative was a Christian. Once again, there is no mention of alchemy in his religious upbringing.
