I think you do have a point there, and perhaps it is somewhat Eurocentric. But not completely as I think what I said can still apply to many ancient civilizations that maybe were more mystics rather than religious people. I may be splitting hairs there between mysticism and religion but it broadens it a bit more outside of Europe.
I don't know too much about any one culture in depth, but in general I understand the split between Western and Eastern thought. And you're right that not only Confusinism, but Taoism/Daoism, Buddhism, Shintoism, and maybe even Hinduism, are much more pantheistic/atheistic and so perhaps science does not owe as much to them.
All that being said, European culture was the root of Western thought, and Western thought is what has played a larger picture, I think, in the advancement of science by far, even if it is that same science that has now spread to other parts of the world. I know I'm getting vague...
