Is science losing the enlightenment battle with religion?

Let me put it this way. If Richard Dawkins thinks science is losing in the UK, we're really in trouble here.

And, remember, it's not just the Religious Right that falls under the rubric of religion.

It's New Agers pushing alt-med pseudoscience, too.

Politically, we've got little choice offered to us in America.

The Green Party officially pushes alt-med quackery while calling on Bush/Cheney to "follow the science" on environmental issues, global warming above all. The Democrats? Obama has pledged to expand some of Bush' faith-based campaigns.
