- Zigurd 11y agoTempleton cultivates respectability. They are not bible thumpers. The foundation and the associated Templeton Prize do not exclusively award money to Christian initiatives. It's only pernicious to the extent that having a billionaire's fortune sloshing around funding people who give a nod toward "spiritualism" might elevate squishy "not-quite-science."
