When he said "religions" he must have mean't "scientists"


Once upon a time you could argue that most "scientists" were either of a church or mosque or supported by such an institution, for example Gregor Mendel is generally described as both a scientist and as an Augustinian friar.

Cathedrals didn't build themselves or innovate their own designs; contemplating the natural wonders was once considered equivalent to looking upon the works of God.

I'm not religious, my passions are science, mathematics, history (, and the Oxford comma); the narrative that "Religion Hates Science" has as much depth as spelling Microsoft with a $ or describing Americans as sheeple.


Yep. Damn you auto-correct!
