Why do scientists take religion less seriously?

Because science trains one to think critically and objective and to look at the evidence.  An objective look at religion shows that there is no reason to suspect that it is right.

Most scientists tend to be atheists or agnostics.

Scientists learn the value of doubt.
Science is all about finding out
where you have been mistaken.
Religion is all about
avoiding finding out
that you have been mistaken.

Scientists have more important things to consider, than the pretenses of others.
Science deals with what is.  Religion deals with what isn't.
They do not, in fact, can not relate.

WRONG...HALF THE SCIENTISTS ARE BELIEVERS!!!

🥴 Fauci is a devout Catholic. Catholics are Christian.

He's also the 40 year veteran of our CDC.

“Rational arguments don’t usually work on religious people. Otherwise there would be no religious people.” - Gregory House, M.D. Season 4 Episode 2 The Right Stuff.


Unlike the religious, scientists have to be rational.

If that were true, there wouldn't be thousands of scientists who are Christians and members of other religions.

Where'd you get that idea?  I know some very religious scientists

Because they know it is all bullsh!t

I take anything seriously if there is reliable evidence to back it up.

Unfortunately the bible does not constitute as evidence, but is rather hearsay.
