I am a scientist who does research at a major university. In my experience there is no anti-religious climate in science. I don’t know nor do I care about the religious affiliation of the people I encounter—it simply isn’t an issue. And FWIW, Mimms didn’t work for SA. He wanted to be an editor there and wrote some pieces, but just wasn’t hired.

I think He had done more than a few for Scientific American as a contributor to the Ameteur Scientist though only a few as “trying out editor”(which he didn’t get), though he contributed to other mags(Popular Science?) and I bought a lot of his stuff from Radio Shack. It was his religious views that caused him to lose the full editing job. The link I provided does Mims a good service in describing the issues scientists had with his pro life views as well as his creationist views.(heck even the ACLU offered to help him,...talk about strnage bed-fellows) My point still stands...express a belief in God as a scientist in many areas, especially in ways that shame leftist politics and you get ostracized...no matter how good you are as a scientist.

In a fish’s experience there isn’t an anti-dryness bias either... because it does not understand water.
