Dogmatic dogma
Left unchallenged, Christians will do everything within their power to force their beliefs on everybody and anybody who does not share their same ideals.
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.
Robert A. Heinlein, Postscript to Revolt in 2100
Folks can believe what they want, but when they start forcing their beliefs on the rest of us it's time to fight back.
Remember, the Enlightenment told us that we no longer have to kowtow to the shamans, no matter who they are or what they claim.
Perhaps a more apt quote for "archaeologist" might be:
Save us, dear Lord, from those who would save us.
Art Hoppe, On the Death of Robert Kennedy
San Francisco Chronicle, 1968

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
