Science is slowly choking the life out of non-atheistic worldviews, and it does make me furious and afraid.
I just don't understand this view. I'm an agnostic rather than an atheist but I've known numerous atheists over the years and none of the folks I've met who fall into either category have ever shown the slightest interest in restricting the religous freedoms of others.
If anything the boot is on the other foot. The worry is that one of the Christian sects will revert to the historical pattern Christians have displayed over more than a thousand years of history - namely imposing their own particular views on the entire populace and brutally suppressing all dissent or even discussion.
If you are worried that science is going to say the best evidence we have is that :
- the Earth is not 6000 years old
- there never was a global flood
- all life on Earth has common ancestry
- we share a common ancestor with other primates
- there is currently no evidence that life was designed
- etc. etc.
then yes, you have grounds to be worried. That is just where the currently available evidence takes us.
