well currently in the US religion is fighting progress and religion is what half the bills in Texas that just passed were based on. Abortion is sceince, but religion is what has caused it to lose legality. Religion ignores science. Same thing going on with climate change.. religion says humans aren't doing this.. Science disagrees, but here we are.
So yeah religion is the thing. not just being an asshole. It's written into the various religions (who all think the other is wrong by the way) that this is the way to be. To deny science is the right choice of action for them.
