Caught this from one of my favorite strips Non Sequitur:
While I am sure folks can think of examples where religion inhibited science, Galileo and the current Creationism are two examples, I think this strip might overstate it a bit. There are many examples of religious organizations supporting science, including parochial schools performing cutting edge scientific research to the many advances made by theists of all sorts. Personally I think instead of images of the Pope, a Rabbi, and an Islamic Cleric, I think images of little kennie ham, a televangelista, and maybe right-winger in an ill-fitting lab coat might be a better, although less obvious, point. Just my $0.02.
