I have evidence from direct experience. The fact that scientists deny freedom is real, produces in me a strange ideology, that anything is better than to have a scientist in, or close to power. To have a complete nutcase in power is better than to have anybody in power that listens to science. On the other side the main ideological force is for a morality of survival.
What freedom does science deny. Do you know what freedom is? You seem to confuse freedom with free will. As for the staement
Here's a local science popularizer speaking Kris Verburgh:
"one doesn't need a god to be good. Our morale is an instinct that occurs with social creatures living in groups, the good is already within us."
That is true. If ones's morality only comes from a god or gods then it is not free either as free will or freedom, but captive. I am moral not because some supernatural entity forbids such behavior under penalty of damnation, but that it is a logical sequence that if I expect that my family, my friends etc. should not be abused then I should not abuse the freedom of others. No god involved. That is freedom.
