Religion serves an important purpose in the world. That is why it exists. Dawkins, Myers and the like help the enemies of science by seeking the adoration of elitist atheists.

Got a little problem with the phrase “evangelical atheist.” By definition, an evangelical brings (literally) “good news.” I’m a bit hard-pressed here to understand how declamations asserting “no God” and “no afterlife” is “good news.”

[Liberty1970]

There are, for all practical purposes, no 'enemies of science,' if we define science as the methodological acquisition of observational knowledge about the natural world and the patterns of change within it. There are plenty of enemies of 'science, falsely so-called' however, that is, people who makes claims going far beyond the observational evidence (or at odds with it), while claiming that their beliefs are demanded by 'science.'

But I guess saying so makes me anti-science... it's getting silly when famous inventors and patent holders and authors of copious scientific and technical papers etc. are aribtrarily declared 'anti-science' for not having the 'right' beliefs about a past neither they nor any other scientist has directly observed.

By these modern standards, Isaac Newton, Louis Pasteur, Galileo and just about every other famous scientist prior to or contemporary with Darwin was 'anti-science.'
