I did not claim nor even said that just because it is centuries-long belief that it would give it any more validity as truth or fact so Your response to that was irrelevant. What I intended to express was the fact that they are willing to give up on a belief they hold dear to for so long if it conflicts with science. This is actually a good thing because they give science a superior authority instead of demeanig it.
I think you fundie atheist can't differentiate different situation and use common sense. It is very hypocritical. Religion had been around for much longer than any or most of what we know about science today even exist. I dont think they are using any underhanded method to advocate invalid things. They are just belief that had been passed down for generations of practitioners. And I think the fact that they encourage practitioners to give science a superior authority and to side with science in case of conflict between their belief and science said otherwise and in a way advocating the credibility of science. I understand you don't believe in their religion, neither do I, I also understand that you probably have very limited knowledge of their belief, but I think you should atleast give them some credit for the fact that they are humble enough to accept something that would conflict with their belief. Buddhism is rarely a religion that is in your face or force down your throat, infact that is against their belief. If they can do that, I am sure yall can atleast take some effort in seeing that instead of being so narrow-minded.
I am an atheist because I dont believe in it. But that doesnt mean I discriminate them all the same for the fact that they are a religion. There are some that are harmful, others that are harmless and somewhat beneficial. Also degrading it using vulgar term just make yall sound like just another immature fundie christian. Its like running from one bad thing just to be with something just as equivalently bad.
