What is it about science that scares the religious fanatics so much? Perhaps it is that science attracts athiests who don't see the answers to our Earth bound questions in the divine myth. But in doing so they prove themselves to be a better class of people:

Of course most of us who read these pages understand that freedom of choice is the cornerstone of humanity. Religion seems to shout against the choice because their message is forced upon the children of the believers. Try growing up in a Catholic family and expressing a lack of belief.
So the science of allowing choice in some families is real, and education is always the first step to good choices. Hooray for the scientists. There is nothing wrong with being an athiest unless you run a church and are trying to collect a large amount of money for little return.
Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read. (Sir Francis Bacon 1561-1626)
