I think you should look into the differences between "science", and "scientism". The latter is what happens when scientifically illiterate people are spreading

  I understand this full well. I'm speaking in the context of that you'd are calling scientism because I think it's the dominant religion of our times. An example is this slogan: "I believe in science". We might say well, this person is saying they have faith that the scientific method produces ... But I would argue that this person (in aggregate in modern society) is actually much more like a religious believer. They believe without any real idea of what science is. I don't dispute the difference between the scientific method and the mythological one. All I'm saying is that religion had at it's heart a hard science and mythology was it's product. I am sorry saying that modern science produces mostly mythodology as well. I don't claim that everyone has to agree, but this is how it looks to me. So I see a world around me made of scientism. Yet you never hear the word, and certainly it's not a legitimate sounding word. So I go a step further and say, our modern religion is science which produces the mythodology which we consume. I think it's a valid position. But of course no dominant paradigm likes to consider it's falacies.
