NASA and the US government have kinda been lowkey pointing this out for years...hence why so much of the legwork has been outsourced to the ESA and China/India.I actually agree with the guy. The ROI on any space tech now is so low. How can you call someone an idiot over that?

Brb a quick google search says 84% of the world has religious beliefs of some degree. Lol you think the remaining 16% saying "p-p-please st-st-stop" is going to do anything? I'm personally not religious but some people have been shown to find happiness and meaning by pursuing their faiths. You just going to tell people to stop being happy because you don't like it. Piss off
Can't discipline the Miscipline

Power. Corrupts.
Like it or not, neither Khmer Rouge or the Socialist Workers Party were designed as religions nor did they encourage religiosity...yet they murdered millions. There is no difference. The killers and abusers will kill and abuse. Religious presence or otherwise.

Unfortunately despite preaching self responsibility, religiosity is correlated with a decreased ability to delay gratification, which is which an overwhelming amount of people in the criminal justice system identify as religious -- believing in a god doesn't prevent them from doing whatever they want, because they don't believe that whatever they do matters.

Everyone has their own set of beliefs, whether codified in an organized religion or not. What ultimately matters is how you conduct yourself. Stop projecting your own failures upon faith or lack thereof.

Science doesnt exist to fill any void of anything, it exists purely to test hypothesis and alter them where applicable. Its not a tool to be used in politicized bull****.
There are no answers, only questions and proposed theories. Philosophy doesnt seek to merely buy one entry into heaven, if thats what you surmise then the problem may be due to your own interpretation rather than the religion itself.
The only problem I have with the lack of belief is that no one seems to stand for anything or believe in anything anymore. Only what they dont want. These unending smugness, where people think because of the democratized forms of information accrual (and I mean the internet - though its now hardly what I would call democratized) that they're somehow smarter than anyone else.

When I said "Until science can somehow fill that void of uncertainty, people will keep flocking to the snake-oil merchants", what was implied (and clearly went unnoticed) is that it could never happen because it's impossible, for the exact reason you stated - "Science is not religion"
Also, I don't think I've interpreted religion in any other way than it was meant to be interpreted, which is "be good and you'll be rewarded in the afterlife, be bad and you'll suffer enormously for eternity". I think those are common themes in every religion.
I do agree with your points about the lack of belief in the world, but in my opinion it's more directly attributable to the "divide and conquer" strategies of most governments. What's really lacking in the world isn't "belief", it's cohesion and solidarity.

We are hard wired to have faith in something. Science, God, Ourselves even..
Science is good and all, but it changes on the reg.

Eventually the majority of the population becomes dependent on the government redistribution things to them in order to live and the system collapses. The inevitable consequence of democracy is despotism.This + the original = the fact that humans are driven to hold a religion-like belief system at some level. As statism become more and more dominant, it isn't hard to see why science is being pushed and religion is being driven out of society. In establishing further human dependence on the state, one key step is to remove beliefs/dependence on ideas outside of the state. I'm not really an NWO type of guy, but a lot of that stuff is based on reality. With future economies (after large job losses due to automation) uncertain right now, I think there is some preparation for state dependence that has been underway for a while now (see all various forms of divisiveness continuously fed to you by all forms of media now).
