I don’t think I had ever heard before that it’s more important for people to accept the scientific consensus on all things relevant to life, health, and politics than trying to directly persuade people out of their religious beliefs. E.g., believe what you want about the afterlife, but please accept the life-changing nature of vaccines. However, the author does point that after this, people will reject religion.

A very reasonable and empathetic proposal. It shows a third way: not pretending there isn’t conflict between religion and science, not assuming religion can’t change, only be destroyed; but acknowledge that all religions accepting the scientific consensus while maintaining their religious practices is possible and good for all. Defining secularism as 4 values (equality, liberty, truth in govt, evidism) was new!
