My perspective is that Scientism is becoming a religion. Look at how vigorously its adherents defend it. Look at the definition of a religion, and see if it applies.

If "vigorous defense" is the definition of religion I guess belief in the 2nd Amendment should now be considered a religion.

***It is not the only criteria for the definition, but it is certainly one of them. We see that the Religion Moderator determined that Scientism is not a religion, but we do not see what the criteria were.
