We just did a 30 year run of “religious people are dumb and holding bus back” and it didn’t start a science boom and just made people more unhappy and disaffected.

And 2020 further revealed that science is not immune from politics or its own religious ideals.

Do you imply that last 30 years lacked significant science progress? Even if I ignore the tech ones (simpler to associate with the US), there were quite some impressive progress I heard of in other fields (in which US was significantly involved).

No, but most certainly less than 1940-1970 which was a much more religious time.

When did this ever happen?

[groundzeros2015]

After your formative years when you were done adopting new ideas.

About as coherent as you would except.
