Well, I hate to shut down the debate so soon but you know....the whole master race concept is based on science.
On a lesser evil note we have the ongoing Libertarian debate. That's another would be utopian society based on the science of human nature. It's a flawed understanding of human nature but it's based on science.
I mean, it's not good science but it's good enough to start political movements.
In my view the two realms are entirely separate and using science where you should be using religion is like using a hammer when you need a screwdriver.
But since I accept that religions fill a basic human need I'm not exactly for destroying them. I mean, some of them sure. But I'd rather figure out how to make them work in the modern world.
We're basically wired to live in small tribal groups and we just don't. That causes issues.
Also, we're not supposed to be able to kill our enemies as easily as we do.
Those problems actually aren't the fault of religion. They're the fault of science. Go figure.
