My god is science. My saints are professors of Mathematics, Medicine, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, etc. My churches are universities. My shrines are science labs. My faith is reason. My bible are science textbooks and published scientific studies and essays. My religious doctrine is the scientific method. My apocalypse is a world where scientists are persecuted. My heaven is an irreligious society where academic thought is upheld. My prayers are the research papers I read out loud. My angels are people who invest in scientific research.

What am I?
