    Less Dangerous? Conservatism. At least conservatism is a real political ideology based in reality, even though it is wrong. Creationism is just a story.

    Conservatism.

    Creationism is a myth taught as fact. That’s much more dangerous.

    In the right context, I don’t see either as especially dangerous — Conservatism has multiple historical faces and in Europe is something fairly different than here. All of those (along with other philosophies of governing) in a PoliSci or History course don’t seem all that dangerous.

    Creationism in a Philosophy or religion class as an alternative — Not Science — explanation of the world’s creation seems fine too. As UI notes, move creationism to a real science class and now you’ve gotten to the dangerous territory.

    Both:

    Conservatism is delusion presented as reality.

    You can grow beyond being taught creationism. Can you grow behond being taught Conservatism (neo-con version, natch)?
