Christianity is the main reason Europe became dominant... main reason is that it emphasized the Jewish principle of living this life best way you can with a positive change after death. Prior to this Europe lived with almost no directive, meaning as long as you survive that is the end on to itself. Meaning no growth insentive.

1) They have historically been the languages of education, in Newton's time and well into the modern day you could(can actually but whatever) not call yourself educated unless you were(are) proficient in Greek & Latin, this has been true since Rome was still a village.
2) They have better structure and by using Greek & Latin he was publishing for a wider audience indeed.
Christianity is a major part of European and western civilisation indeed, whether it is necessary for western civilisation remains dubious.
I think it has become quite obvious that it's not that necessary and there is a big chance it will not be with us in the next century.
