It cuts both ways… We see it here on this thread - Michael Shermer is telling Christians what to believe?

The National Center for Science Education gives teachers lessons on how to ‘reconcile’ science and religion. Think about that… The NCSE is against religious views in science if they include any intelligent design but yet they advocate the mixing of the two according to the rules they have established.

There are ‘scientists’ such as Richard Dawkins, William Provine, David Barash, Stephen Pinker, Jacob Weisberg, Sam Harris, and a many other people who use evolution to tear apart Judeo-Christian beliefs and replace them with atheistic beliefs from science. Where is the cry from the scientific community about this mixing of religion and politics?

What about Dick Dawkins latest book - - The God Delusion?

Where is the outcry about the ‘Bright Movement’ which has there own ‘wedge document’ that was established by leading evolutionists?

The movement's three major aims are:
A. Promote the civic understanding and acknowledgment of the naturalistic worldview, which is free of supernatural and mystical elements.
B. Gain public recognition that persons who hold such a worldview can bring principled actions to bear on matters of civic importance.
C. Educate society toward accepting the full and equitable civic participation of all such individuals.

Well, I've never heard of the "Bright Movement". But there is a huge difference between it and the Discovery Institute. The DI is the leader in creationism (sorry, I mean ID, or Critical analysis of evolution or wait, I don't know what it's calling it now). It fooled Dover into following its "teachings" and then abandoned it when it came to litigation. Cost the Dover School District over a million $'s. And while I don't like Dawkins, I would note that the "attorneys" on the DI website are shockingly legally ignorant. Since DI is willing to publish legal ignorance, I take what their "scientists" say with a huge grain of salt. Granted, as a Christian, I don't think much of Dawkins and several others that you list. But, please, don't compare whatever the Bright movement is to DI.
Thankfully, you're not blind. But I would recommend that you become informed.
