The church has never taught the earth was flat. In fact, a flat earth was not a commonly held theory at anytime in our past that I can find. The bible itself says the earth is round. Isaiah 40:22

Isaiah 11:12
"12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH." (KJV)
It is quite clear that the above Biblical Verses suggest and claim that the Earth is flat, has Edges, has Four Corners, has Pillars, and has Foundations.
Some Christians have gone as far as presenting Isaiah 40:22 to try to prove that the Bible claims that the earth is round.
Let us look at what the Verse says:
"He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. (From the NIV Bible, Isaiah 40:22)"
The notion that hell was below the earth is stated clearly in early Christian tradition by the belief, still recited by most Christians in the Apostolic and Athanasian creeds, that Christ "descended into hell" between his death and resurrection. The Harrowing of hell, combined with the theme of Christ's ascension into heaven, became a favourite motif in medieval art and drama[74] and led to the three tiers of the mystery plays. This was possibly the only source of cosmology available to most unlearned people until literacy became more widespread after the invention of printing.
The Flat Earth model is an archaic belief that the Earth's shape is a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures have had conceptions of a flat Earth, including Greece until the classical period,
Did this universal religion cause the downfall of society and that`s why it is being kept hidden to prevent it from reemerging and destroying society again?
Did this universal religion give too much power to the people so it is being kept hidden to prevent it from reemerging and taking power away from the elite 1% ?

Dammit! I've been rumbled
Actually, I'm surprised it's taken this long for someone to mention this. For the record, I am not Richard Cassaro. Silly paranoid conspiracy theorists...
