Separation of Science and State

[Rhyfelwyr]

Why stop at separating Science and State?

Separation of Sense and State - now that is the "in"-words of the religious wacksters!

I don't believe science and the state should be separate, this thread is to point out the hypocrisy of some peoples idea of secularism. Institutionalised separation of the church and state, by all means. But religion does have a role in the political sphere if people want it to.

You're gonna need to explicate the dozen or so logical leaps connecting those two statements for me.

But who's logical leaps are they?

*postings*

So the reason religion and the state must remain separate, but science and the state must not, is that science is right?

I think similar logic was used by the theocrats of a few centuries ago to justify their rule...
