[Osx-nutters] The separation of church and state.

[José Trejos]

There is religious fundamentalism and there are many other kinds of  
religious spirituality. Many scientists are members of different  
religions, of course no true scientist can be a fundamentalist of any  
religion. Many religious beliefs can coexist with scientific  
knowledge. The existence of "a supreme being" that some call God is  
not necessary for science but can not be either proved or disproved  
scientifically. Atheism is actually a kind of fundamentalism. No  
rational human can be atheist. Atheism is dogmatic and irrational.
