I suggest you stop supporting nautil.us. Look at the bafflingly low quality of this article. Is it coincidence that nautilus articles like these frontpage once a weekend? Is it an organic submission? Or something else? This is like a throwaway class paper (which, given how nautilus sources, may very well be).

I have questions about their agenda. They were exclusively funded, initially, by the John Templeton Foundation.

Whatever one’s personal feelings about Richard Dawkins, this bit he said in The God Delusion is apropos, regarding how he feels the Templeton Foundation doles out rewards, “usually to a scientist who is prepared to say something nice about religion".

The idea is very important, though. How the article explains it is another thing.
