I am an astronomy student at the University of Louisville. I'm proud of my school. A UofL biochemist has recently conducted an experiment (remotely) on the Endeavor space shuttle. An enormous amount of money is being invested in the construction of a lab for nanotechnological experiments, and another smaller grant will improve the capabilities of the Moore observatory in Oldham County, Kentucky.
And yet, right in the middle of campus (ironically directly between the Belknap campus research center and the Life sciences building) is the Campus Interfaith Center. The purported job of this building is promoting 'interfaith cooperation', which I am not at all opposed to. Unfortunately it is more commonly the source of endless proselytizing and 'witnessing' by the various religious organizations on campus. I grant them their right to freedom of speech and assembly, and do not begrudge it. But I have been wondering. I have been wondering what would happen if I were to walk in and set up a kiosk with reference materials and information promoting a secular world view.
After all, science does the same job as religion in giving us a framework on which to base decisions, to filter information, and to make value judgments about morality and ethics. In fact it does so far better and more reliably than any collection of mystical traditions.
The only thing holding me back from actually doing this is the concern that by taking science into the den of the mystic, I will be somehow validating magical thinking as actually being comparable to science. I would like to hear what you have to say about the matter, and whether you think it would be a valid platform to make a political or legal inroad into equalizing the social power of religion and science. (Either by granting science the same tax free status and government grants available to 'faith-based' organizations or the reverse)

Thank you
