"We believe science is real" is not a statement of dogmatic belief in scientific conclusions, it is a reaction to anti-scientific movements that attempt to influence the public perception of science. It is usually primarily directed at the moneyed interests opposed to climate science and the impacts it predicts, though it also deals with related issues impacting health and the environment.
If you spend a cursory time searching for that statement, you'll find that it's associated with the March for Science, which is, itself, a reaction to active and successful attempts at having persons in government distort, remove, and ignore science that flies in the face of moneyed interests.
By the way, just about everything you know about Galileo re: perception and persecution is wrong.
