Seems the metaphor was missed. Atheists can 'burn witches and books' just as much as religious people do. Such as Stalin's mass genocide against religion. Atheists are just as capable of ignorantly slaughtering millions for some pious ideals written in a "holy" book like the Communist Manifesto.

It's all just human nature, the names and ideologies change but the horrors of blind obedience to the mob mentality doesn't change.

The second point was referring to current events/social issues more than scientific issues. Some scientific data points are interpreted differently by different scientists leading to irregular conclusions. Most subjects,however, can be easily proven.

My point is to question everything: science, politics, religion, society, yourself and why some people feel compelled to use caps-lock in posts.
