There are aeronautical engineers who think the world is flat. Human beings aren't rational creatures, so it's not surprising that there are scientists that are religious, but acting like it's some bad apples who give religion a bad name is also not correct. Might I remind you the vatican itself has helped hide multiple crimes committed by the clergy over the years, everything from shielding child raping priests by moving them around to burying the bones of the native American children that were kidnapped from their families and brutalized in church grounds. Point me to any country on the map that's a theocracy and I'll show you how they brutalize their population. I'm not against religion, but religion shouldn't be allowed to interfere in other people's lives, should not have any say in how a goverment runs and how laws get passed and should be forced to pay taxes like any other business. Religious people with power over others are a danger to society.

This take is funny AF as an aero astro engineering PhD because, no, you don't graduate as a flat earther. People are not rational, as exhibited by the fact that you're super jazzed to provide turndown service to high school kids to bang it out all night long in your house and you think it's an A+ idea.

Go think about your life bro. Your shit is fucked up.

I even agree with you about religious perspectives, but holy hell you got some issues going on. You should get help.

FTFY. Don't tell me it's "some bad apples", clearly all government's are bad.

religion shouldn't be allowed to interfere in other people's lives, should not have any say in how a goverment runs and how laws get passed and should be forced to pay taxes like any other business

I agree 100%. I don't know what you think you're arguing against because I never said otherwise.
