Not believing in religion commits you to blind adoration of science, or the perfectibility of humanity, etc...
I don't think so.
Science is the best way of gaining knowledge about the natural world. Nothing else even comes close. Certain religious people deny some scientific knowledge for religious reasons. In fact, there are few reasons for denying scientific findings that are not religious or political. All it mean if you aren't religious is that you probably won't question science for non-scientific reasons.
Not believing in religion does not commit you to any given form of humanism or human "progress." You can be non-religious but also quite pessimistic about humanity.
Maybe after this you could do a series of posts on why one shouldn't believe in the perfectibility of humanity. :-)
ResponderEliminarThat would be a bit obvious, don't you think?
