RE: No morality in science ?
I am not sure where this get you. Just thinking about religion probably triggers what the religious thinks is moral behavior as well.

The key difference is science allows one to find things that have indenpendent existence totally outside of one's particular concept of morality, and those things have independent capacity to act upon the individual in complete disregard of his or her concept of morality. So Science is worth something irrespective of morality.

Religion, on the other hand, has shown not the slightest sign of capacity for worth beside through influence on morality. And its inability to find its justification in morality is now ever more appearent.

I'm not sure we read the same article. As I understood what was said, pre-loading people's mind with terms and concepts such as logic and hypotheses kicks the brain into a state where moral mindsets come more naturally.
