... yeah, no. Their history is of attempting to get scientific support for religion. Their aim in practice appears to be to corrupt the public discourse concerning science in the interests of religion, by swaying academics with much more money than they'd get any other way. Anything or anyone funded by Templeton should be viewed in this light.
Of late, they have expanded beyond religion to funding climate change denial. https://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2013/12/26/templeton-funds-climate-change-denialist-groups/ https://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2013/12/26/templeto...
