"All Scientists Should Be Militant Atheists"

[Pizza]

I don't really understand the criticism of Krauss here. If you're a scientist, you should treat religion in the same way that you treat other claims. He's basically saying that in doing just that he's been labeled a militant atheist, and that other scientists, instead of adhering to the principles they avow, have discouraged him by either remaining silent or vocalizing their disapproval of his efforts.

So, what's the problem?

We all likely have many false beliefs that have undesirable consequences. It is not the job of scientists to run away mocking people with false beliefs. God, that would be hell on Earth.
