Is “modern day theocrats” any less spicific or any more subjective/perjorative than “Darwinists”?

Post 46: JC85: Western science grew out of theology--yes, theology. Europe's great universities were founded in medieval times by religious groups. It is the so-called “scholastic movement” that eventually developed into science.

And they began to make real progress when they finally escaped the stiffling thumb of religious control. I think it was called The Enlightenment.

cm: And many of our modern theocrats want to take us back to those bad old days.

So, those *bad old days* comment was in response to JC's comment about the medieval times.

So which, modern day theocrats want to take us back to those bad old days (medieval) and when and where did he (they) state that?
