Far fewer scientists are religious than the general population, which makes sense because the ability to think rationally affects both. Dawkins's problem is that religion is not the disease but the symptom of underlying irrationality. Solve for irrationality, and you solve for any problems religion creates. Hitting religion head-on works poorly because of social pressures, but fixing science education to focus on the process for how we know things instead of what we know can fix society in a way that makes it easier for individuals to reject religious beliefs while also addressing the problems Horgan wants to fix.
