[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Science and religion have always been at odds.  The evangelical wing of MAGA distrusts science because it flattens hierarchy and removes humans from the center of the universe.  Religion gives humans permission to exploit nature and each other. Science says we have a responsibility to care for the planet and each other.

There’s also a strong mistrust of authority and resentment of elites.  Thanks to YouTube and TikTok, anyone can be their own scientific expert and “do their own research”, no fancy degree needed.[/quote]

Climate change IS a religion.[/quote]

Religion isn’t “stuff I can’t see and don’t understand”.  Which supernatural deity is being worshipped?  Where is the place of worship? What are the rituals and dress codes and calendar events?

Under this definition, brushing teeth is a religious ritual that sheep do unquestioningly because a high priest (dentist) told them to.  Oral health is a cult![/quote]

No.  It's really not.

Climate change is science.
Dental health is based on science.

They don't fit the definition above.

Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism.  Religion.  All fit the definition above.[/quote]
