With our Supreme Court now swinging decidedly more conservative, religious rights will undoubtedly now begin to be asserted over human rights.

Our government cannot establish a specific religion and so, where conflicts arise, often on purpose, the Supreme Court will have to balance religious freedoms and restrictions equally among the recognized / established religions.

No one will be able to convince a conservative Supreme Court that Human Rights deserve equal, much less higher consideration over Religious Rights. Philosophically, it simply cannot happen.

Therefore, the establishment of a NEW religion which somehow deifies scientific principles would be extremely advantageous to atheists, agnostics, and antitheists.

Upon first hearing of this suggestion, I KNOW that most atheists, agnostics, and antitheists would rudely scoff at the very idea of such an artificial concoction of ideas. But, let me put it to you this way:

If you are kidnapped by people you KNOW are insane and playing STUPID mind games with themselves and everyone else they have dealings with, yet they do indeed have all of the power over you within their domain, and you can do nothing about successfully overthrowing them from their position of dominance over you, are you simply going to purposely piss them off so that they take away most of your rights and eventually even execute you for denying the existence of the imaginary things they love and honor most in their lives?

Why not devise your own imaginary game to counter, control, and even master their game with? Human life is full of examples of this behavior as both stupid and necessary:

Computers users and hackers
Police radar and radar detectors
Social identity sites and identity thieves
Even the now common activities of working for money and then giving it away for food, clothing, housing, transportation, and entertainment rather than simply doing/making those things for ourselves.

Everything in life involves stupid games. Am I right here or not... you do see the principles... yes?

So now let me ask you this:

What would a new, from scratch religion look like, based upon scientific principles, knowledge, and most of all, the curiosity driven observation, data purity, for seeking and utilizing the truth about every last part about the world we live in?

To make it a religion, we have to define all these different aspects of science as characterizations, so that we can anthropomorphize it and make it a living being. Then, once we get it to that point, we deify it, by making it all-powerful, invincible, and irrefutable BECAUSE it is open minded and self correcting when the required evidence is obtained. Not a bad thing to do for science, huh?

Then, just for fun, why not write code for all this, test it carefully, and eventually boot it up in more and more powerful AI machines.. . Wouldn't our Supreme Court have fun interacting with that?!
