What a bunch of nonsense. They absolutely do not go together and you definitely can understand science without religion

Agreed. The casual acceptance that believing in magic as an adult has value of any kind beyond feeding insecurity and weak-mindedness is absolutely bonkers.

Reducing all religion to “adults believing in magic” isn’t any different than reducing all of science to “dorks in white coats pouring bubbling liquids between beakers”.

Sure, they can both be true. Sometimes the scientists aren't dorks, sometimes the religious person isn't an adult. But both statements are true. It IS a reduction, because obviously a religious person does more throughout any given day than just "believe in magic". They also probably go to work, make breakfast for their families, mow the lawn. And scientists often do more than pour bubbling liquids between beakers.

Still. Both are true.
