This article discusses the lingering effects of history's hardest learned lessons. Seeking to explain the divide between science and religion, it delves into the history of modern Europe and the projection of anger onto the supernatural.

I might be wrong, but haven't scientists of different disciplines been trying to confirm religion for centuries, and haven't scientists, for their trouble, been tortured, vilified, and murdered?

Historically I don't see a divide in science and religion until just over 200 years ago. What happened is that scientific principal won out over superstition because it could finally afford to. Before that it was a lap dog.
Science bit the hand that fed and took it's place, but it all seems to be reading like an Orwell book at this point.

The divide has been substantial since the beginning of human history; the projection of emotions onto the natural world has been a favoured coping mechanism for millenia. The most obvious example is the fact that prehistoric hunter-gatherer societies often had TWO leaders: the hunter, or alpha male, and the secondary but no less influential leader/guide of the spirital world. The shaman.

Well yea they have obvious differences. I was referring to the context of the article in which religious institutions were most often the patrons of science. The modern atheist movement wouldn't break into prominence until the late 18th century.
