But making science into a religion makes you less likely to doubt what “science” says.
I think there’s a good argument to be made that there will inevitably be a subsection of the population that NEEDS to be told what to believe. They cannot function in a chaotic world.
And I think it’s not a small minority either.
By treating science like religion we limit the harm that these people can do. If they dogmatically follow something, let them dogmatically follow “the science”.

Unfortunately these people can’t distinguish actual science from bad science or completely made up things that claim to be based on science.
