Why do Chinese and Western translations originate from religious documents?

Because religion is used by politics, that is to say, this translation behavior is the behavior of the government, and the purpose of the government is to consolidate the rule (Buddhism) and better mobilize social forces (Christianity).

Therefore, this kind of translation does not focus on science education, but on religion.

Of course, it's not all true. Some translation behaviors focus on scientific knowledge. However, it has been ignored by us. For example, Arabic has translated a large number of eastern and western classics. For example, the Japanese have translated various classics of China, so it cannot be said that religion precedes science.

However, the translation of religious documents is often aimed at changing values. Therefore, in reasoning, it can also be said that religion comes first.
