STATE QUASI-RELIGION ESTABLISHED

In the 21st Century, the constitutional definition of “religion” could change. The establishment of Science as a state religion is underway. The similarities are clear. Science persecutes all other religions. It has its own clergy. Lay people are mocked if they question this clergy. Science is based on established canon. Anything challenging this canon is banned (if possible), ignored, or derided for as long as possible. Governments are expert at twisting science to accommodate contemporary inclinations. Look out for the use of the words “theory” and “consensus”. These are the parts of Science that require faith. Laws to coerce citizens into observing and subsidizing Science are increasingly imposed.
Today, the charge of “global warming denial” is a quasi-religious attack on any “unwarranted” doubt about the scientific “consensus” on the rate and extent of supposedly anthropomorphic climate change. The Warming Faith is will combat any heresy, including revelations of collusion to manipulate warming data, destruction of contrary data, organized resistance to disclosure, and private admissions of flaws in public claims.
The politicization of climate science is minor league, however. Never forget what the big leagues looked like. Remember the accomplishments of the “scientific” totalitarian regimes of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia.
The manipulation of science for political gain is real. Scientists, trained in universities made ideologically (read quasi-religiously) pure, are dangerous. Autocratic technocracy can rise anywhere the free exercise of alternative faith is prohibited.
