Compelling article about the fallacies of "evangelical atheists": "Both science and religion are systems of symbols that serve human needs - in the case of science, for prediction and control. (...)

It is the belief that the sort of advance that has been achieved in science can be reproduced in ethics and politics. (...) Science is as liable to be used for inhumane purposes as any other human institution."
