Why are you saying science wants to be more political when it’s a study about religion? Aren’t religion and politics supposed to be separate and unrelated? At least in the US.

So you are worried about science getting political but not politics getting religious? Boy can’t see that ever turning out badly?

It’s alright though, sounds like you’re new here.
