John Gray: religion isn’t about truth (and science ain’t so hot, either)

Jerry Coyne on his blog Why Evolution is True has in my opinion thoroughly refuted what in his words are religiously-based attacks on science used by accommodationists and others to debase science, dragging it down to the level of faith. Coyne wrote this blog piece in reply to an essay by British political philosopher John Gray entitled Can religion tell us more than science?.
