On Humanism: Either
(a) religious beliefs are interpreted and applied in such a way as to bring them into conflict with scientific theories, in which case we have good reasons for accepting the scientific theories and rejecting the religious beliefs;
or(b) religious beliefs are interpreted and applied in such a way as to make them consistent with accepted scientific theories, in which case the religious beliefs are redundant and do not explain anything which cannot be better explained by the scientific theories.
