So absolutely true. Until people realize this, memes like these sound stupid.

This meme is targeted at religious people who think that their belief makes things true. Pretending that religion is true is responsible for countless millions of murders.

Sure, science is amoral, but that's got nothing to do with truth.

I mean, it does from a moral philosophical standpoint I suppose, insofar as using science to justify your actions as moral is usually as misplaced as using religion to do so.

The issue with OP is that more or less any clever religious person is able to retain their belief that their religion is valid and instructs them to do [whatever they wanted to do anyway] while accepting the validity of science, too.
