    What field would be the cut off? Is religion going to influence how a metallurgist analyzes microstructure? How about how a chemist developing new polymers? Who gets to decide? If a scientist allows their religion, or any external influence, to influence their work they are a bad scientist. Which is why we have peer review and reproducible results. There is no need to label anyone. If their work is shit there is mechanisms to correct it, which we are seeing in the article.

    People’s relationship with religion is not up to you, just how the opinions of the religious shouldn’t get to dictate the lives LGBT+. They might be in it for community and don’t belive the “fantasy”. If an individual is spouting hate that is one thing, but judging individuals by their religion is the same persecution the religious zelots dish out.

    Edit: some wording

      As someone who absolutely hates religions and the effects it had on science and animal welfare on the european continent. I 100% agree with you.

      I don’t care for the cut off statement, because who cares about metallury if a faith doesn’t affect it?

      The labelling and lack of privacy is always a bad development. Always. It is the first step needed to prosecute any group. The holocaust museum’s wall paper are chronological steps that the nazi’s took to gain power and strip away human rights. And the wallpaper goes on and on, floor to floor.

      People should be free to believe, but they should be taught not to obfuscate or ignore observations just because of religion. Especially in the fields of medicine and biology. Especially in women’s health.

        The cutoff statement was a question for the previous commenter to show that only some science is relevant to religious beliefs and therefore their thinking is flawed.

          I disagree here. It isn’t a flaw in logic to think it should apply when religion interferes with the research. Just because the person didn’t make a distinction, doesn’t mean it was flawed thinking.

          The flaw is intolerance and breech of privacy. Which we shouldn’t tolerate intolerance and protect every member of society.
