    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”.
