The theme is–
that Science is Bad….reallyreally Bad…..UNLESS it is “guided” by judeo-xian philosophy.

This is what is happening– courtesy Reason and Peter Thiel

reason: What do you think are the most dangerous political trends in the United States?

Thiel: It seems like things are moving in a very anti-libertarian direction politically on every issue. There may be a few exceptions, but generally we’re moving toward a country that’s fiscally more liberal and socially more conservative, which is a very odd configuration. You can debate why that is. Maybe politics has become purely reactionary. It’s a reaction against progress, against globalization, against technology.

There is absolutely nothing libertarian about Goldberg’s and Stein’s premise, that science without religion causes the worlds ills.
They are reactionaries, the memetic equivalent of villagers with pitchforks and torches.
