Famed biologist says religion ‘is dragging us down’ and must be eliminated

[Mudhammam]

Like I said, we don't know.

This is nothing more than ideological fascism and the science behind it is speculative at best and can be applied to all thought at worst - including scientific theory.

Fascism?! What?

"Not enough of our society is trained how to understand and interpret quantitative information. This activity is a centerpiece of science literacy to which we should all strive -- the future health, wealth, and security of our democracy depend on it. Until that is achieved, we are at risk of making under-informed decisions that affect ourselves, our communities, our country, and even the world."

I agree with Neil Tyson. That isn't fascist, and moreover, it isn't compatible with an attitude that shrugs at religion.
