	<description>I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s The AAAS That Promotes Religion In Science And In Law
Whereas Religion Is But A Legitimate Virtual Reality Tool


A. &quot;Protest Louisiana creationism law&quot;

B. From a Dec 03 2008 posting
http://www.the-scientist.com/community/posts/list/80/122.page#1136

&quot;If &quot;god&quot; is defined/understood to be a human artifact - regardless of reasons, purposes, implications, consequences - the subject &quot;god-science&quot; is scientifically discussable. 

If &quot;god&quot; is not defined/understood to be a human artifact, its concept is a human virtual reality artifact experienced only through sensory stimuli, and &quot;god-science&quot; is not scientifically discussable. Furthermore, in this case preoccupation with this subject within a scientific frameworks contributes to corrosion and corruption of science and scientism by manifesting or implying acceptance of virtual reality as reality.&quot; 


C. It&#039;s The AAAS That Promotes Religion In Science And In Law

The AAAS and its affiliates and equivalent organizations, i.e. all the Science Establishment Guilds, loudly and pseudoscientifically promote and &quot;profoundly respect&quot; the &quot;spiritual religious domain&quot; as A REAL domain, a domain separate from the REAL, science, domain.  They do this both because, unbelievably, they actually believe it and as a politically powerful tool in promoting their power and state-public support.
