    you need to focus your statement against the actual antagonist here.

    Agreed. The USA is less religious now than it has ever been. If “Religion”, as a monolithic group, was anti-science then book burnings would have been commonplace for its entire existence and vaccines never would have been allowed.

    The fact that these are more common now while the USA is less religious would suggest the problem is not the monolithic group of “religion” but instead a specific group. To me it looks a lot more politically driven than it is religious, but I would not claim that “politics is anti-science”.
