I see your problem. You forget what you write...

Your wrote "(hint: religious conviction in the of the middle ages)"

Because you wrote this, I answered the way I did. If you want to forget the middle ages and find a time when the earth was thought to be flat by a majority then that is a different subject. Just try to stay on track.

"there never was a period of 'flat earth darkness' among scholars (regardless of how the public at large may have conceptualized our planet both then and now). Greek knowledge of sphericity never faded, and all major medieval scholars accepted the Earth's roundness as an established fact of cosmology."Historians of science David Lindberg and Ronald Numbers point out that "there was scarcely a Christian scholar of the Middle Ages who did not acknowledge [Earth's] sphericity and even know its approximate circumference".
