What an idiotic, sycophantic answer! It has more to do with politics and geography than religion. No other Continent had as many ports at the time than Europe, which led to advances in ship building and Europeans loved spices, which mostly came from Asia.

It is mostly due to geography and politics. No other continent had as many ports as Europe in the early global exploration age and that led to advances in ship building. Also, many Europeans loved spices, and spices mostly came from Asia, which at first had to transported over land, which was costly and took a long time. Shipping became more and more important as more lands and resources were discovered.

Most other civilizations were more insulated and concerned with internal politics and religion. It took Europeans to force some other civilizations to open up, such as the Chinese and Japanese Empires, and both have modern economies and institutions due to that fact.
