Having deep feelings against religion is not what makes one an atheist. We may as well start affixing other titles such as gourmet atheists, ambidextrous atheists, etc.

But, who are these science worshipers? And, are there any here? If not, why bring them up constantly?

Also, something which is infallible would never need correcting.

Why would a person who hates alcohol hang out in a liquor store all day?

So you're saying no, there aren't any here. I think you are correct.

It is to imply that we are not rational, not open to new ideas.

It is the usual argument for those who's arguments have been refuted.
