Jar, are you being serious? Nearly all of the things you mentioned were invented by people of religions other than Christianity! The Egyptians used paper made from papyrus as early as 3000BC, and the Chinese had paper as well. Algebra traces its roots back to Islam, with Al-Khwarizmi, a Persian scientist and mathematician as its founder. Mathematics in general, however, has even earlier roots - without math, how could the pyramids of Egypt be constructed? The ancient Chinese also made significant advances in mathematics.
Great advances in geometry were made by Euclid, a Greek mathematician, hundreds of years before Christ, and Euclidean geometry gets its name from him. The earliest known phoenetic alphabet was invented around 1800BC in Egypt.
I guess we can give the credit for churches to Christians but quite a few religions construct a special area dedicated to worship as well.
