Not sure why you keep dividing people on these lines; science people vs religious people , did not see it in academia or any other popular narrative ,
theist's see that everything comes from the same source ( God) there is a unity in everything , Islam golden period is an example of where most of the philosopher, thinker, inventors were theologions. Their religion does not stop them from doing research work, yet Westerners use it to mock religion. If one is rational than how does it explain that period ( religion was a source of inspiration for them)
Shared few links earlier (sharing again) and explained that what Pope did in Europe is to misuse his power and authority to create a society where people revolt against it and then we know which led to reformation and renaissance. What Pope did was misuse religion and so is Zionism doing, they are using Jews religion to justify the occupation, if you want to remain bias to not look at both side of the argument its fine

Also, you keep dodging arguments by putting onus on religion, as for the last 200 years or so religion has not played a major role economically, politically than (specifically, if we talk about western countries)
1) Do you see the western world becoming a better place, more peaceful, less conflict? Similarly, are people happier , stable, and united united, like have more stable families, more satisfied with their way of life or in stress, have more health issues, drug issues, suicidal rate etc. or if later, what is the western solution here other than blaming religion, communism and more recently the Chinese.
2) I gave an example of using alcohol (in earlier comment) that it causes more harm than good, then why rationale minded person or a country cannot agree to ban it (not even one) or are they okay with all the domestic violence and child abuse caused by it. (same goes with drug, gambling , prostitution)
3) With all the material progress that Science Man has created ( using your term) how do you intend to stop the climate catastrophe that consumerism has created, there is a rat race to acquire and become the next billionaire which has caused inequality on one side and then there is a race to get more resources out of earth ( and even on Moon) causing more green gas emission and more energy usage ,
Magical man, you are again selled into popular narrative, there are 1.8 billion Muslim how many of them you see doing extreme acts, these are fringes element that countries use for propaganda machinery to work and form a popular narrative. “Isis was helped created by West”

and same again "Israel helped created Hamas" , to use it for their expansion goals (not denying the acts Hammas committed) but if you put 2 million people in an open air prison, denying them electricity, food and water and in first place even when Oppressing power is occupying the land where prisoners were living, there will be conflict and it will ugly ( also in West bank there is no Hammas but same thing is happening there)
