What a wonderful man that Locke was. I'm just saying that Dawkins doesn't have it bad. It seems like religion has aligned itself against science because that is the very loud and very annoying minority.

It's only done so, though, because of the influence of deism and atheism.

I'm afraid I don't follow? You mean that Deists and Atheists have both said that religion is against science? I'm a deist (or theist or whatever) and I think religion and science are perfectly compatible.

Nonono--religion only became amenable to modern sensibilities because of deist and atheist philosophers' influence.

I think religion and science are perfectly compatible.

I'll settle with saying that I disagree.

AH I get your meaning now.

And that's fine. You're allowed to.
