Intellectual Humility: A Guiding Principle For The Skeptical Movement?

[Ranjr]

You're right, I shouldn't have included Hume in a list of Christians. My apologies.

Avoid glittering generalities and strawmen.  Such broad statements and cherry picked hypotheticals rarely hold up.  You mention Galileo in one paragraph, then conclude history shows religion is not inherently opposed to science.  It fully opposes science that challenges it's claims.  The rest doesn't matter.  As for history, when it is a crime to not be a believer, we can't be certain who truly was and who wasn't a believer based on what was written.  We can be certain religious leaders routinely denounce science that challenges their claims.
