The people voted into power, as well as the political underlings, are almost exclusively scientifically illiterate, and have degrees in economics, law or business..
Any claims of religious alliance or having "faith" are merely to suck the belivers in, as in the USA for eg, they are the political power base.
The self serving, greedy, unscrupulous and immoral frameworks of business economics or law ethics preclude any alleged moral high ground, religious or otherwise anyway..
I believe that a much greater level of scientific literacy is crucial to any future goverment or leadership, from the local community to the national arena, so that "informed" and "relevant" decision can be made regarding the future of the global community and especially the environment.
Religion only stifles the ability to learn and increase knowledge, especially any new knowledge as it becomes evident.
So what do you think, more scientific literacy in all learning institutions for a better future..?
