I agree but some people take Atheism/Science/Humanism/Secularism/Skepticism etc as synonyms.

Is there a temple of Science?

To add to the above:
PROLOGUE
BY ALBERT EINSTEIN
MANY kinds of men devote themselves to Sci-
ence, and not all for the sake of Science herself.
There are some who come into her temple because it
offers them the opportunity to display their particular
talents. To this class of men science is a kind of sport
in the practice of which they exult, just as an athlete
exults in the exercise of his muscular prowess. There
is another class of men who come into the temple to
make an offering of their brain pulp in the hope of se-
curing a profitable return. These men are scientists
only by the chance of some circumstance which offered
itself when making a choice of career. If the attending
circumstance had been different they might have be-
come politicians or captains of business. Should an angel
of God descend and drive from the Temple of Science
all those who belong to the categories I have men-
tioned, I fear the temple would be nearly emptied. But
a few worshipers would still remain — some from
former times and some from ours. To these latter be-
longs our Planck. And that is why we love him.

One may like to read post #62 . Don't one see Prologue written by Albert Einstein? He described temple and science. Could one ever imagine him debasing science? Please

I don't think you understood Einstein there, @paarsurrey .

Yes, here is one of them in Kensington England, right next to the Albert hall.
Anyone can enter and see the truths discovered by science and unlike most scriptures of most religions, it is always updating itself.
If you are in England, you can see for yourself and get a direct experience of science. No belief is necessary.

Even if your first proposition were true, which it isn't, no it does not need to be capitalised unless used at the start of a sentence or as part of a proper name (e.g. the "Science Museum" in London).

So we can add metaphors to the list of things you don't understand.
Yes.
But if I told you where it is, I'd have to convert you.

Does one think that science is poetic? Please

Metaphor is not exclusively linked to poetry.

They are mistaken in doing so.
