How is the Wedge Strategy any different than Dawkins and his merry band of atheists wanting to destroy all religion....

For the vast majority of human history humans have believed in God....

Other than a few minor examples where did belief in a God impair science at all.

The some of the secrets of the atom were unlocked...Physics research went on. Periodic table still got codified..

I’ve never advocated for ID being taught in schools...you just jumped to that conclusion...

Science has cheerfully jumped into bed with the leftist/humanist/atheist cabal which is poised to do it irreparable damage...but they target the ID’ers which can do them none.

Science needs religion...

Science needs the moral guidance of religion...

With science all things are possible without knowing when to stop..and what not to try.

With Science as the ultimate good you have the horrors of scientific experimentation of both the Nazi’s and the Japanese in WWII.

I am assuming you have strongly conservative leanings....

In 100 words or less without resorting to Morality why is murder wrong?...

Not so much different; Dawkins is being an idiot. And the IDers and their attempt to destroy science???

The Middle Ages and current Muslim nations to name just two examples.

Science really took off with the enlightenment. I see ID as an attempt to return to earlier times, as stated in the Wedge Strategy:

We are building on this momentum, broadening the wedge with a positive scientific alternative to materialistic scientific theories, which has come to be called the theory of intelligent design (ID). Design theory promises to reverse the stifling dominance of the materialist worldview, and to replace it with a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions [emphasis added].
