Nobody said you did.
But you did attempt to truncate the meaning of anti-science, and you claimed that religions operate hospitals and teach science on schools.

Catholicism Operates 5500 hospitals around the world. Is this really the first time you've ever heard of this?I don't know of any religions which operate hospitals or schools that teach science to students.
So religions like Catholicism, methodist and lutherans aren't religion? You better go tell them.I know of religiously-affilated organization that do those things, but it isn't a religion that does them.

If you're using some other meaning you'll have to explain it.
Anti means opposed to or in opposition of.
Catholicism Operates 5500 hospitals world wide.
Catholicism Operates 5500 hospitals around the world.
Catholic organizations may operate "5500 hospitals around the world".
The Catholic religion does not.
No that's common parlance.

Definition of anti-science: a set or system of attitudes and beliefs that are opposed to or reject science and scientific methods and principles.

I think you'll find it hard to show that "a set or system of attitudes and beliefs" are operating hospitals and schools.

The Catholic organization is a religion if it's not what's all the Bible business about?

so why would they support and create organizations that operate hospitals?Catholic organizations are not a religion. Catholicism is a religion, and it's anti-science.

Beats me. Call a hospital and ask them.

No the hospital wasn't the one that said religions are anti science, you are. You have to explain why a religion funds creates and supports $5,500 hospitals worldwide if they aren't anti-science.
That's your claim not the hospital.

I'm not a religion, either.
If you think religions "support and create organizations that operate hospitals," you need to ask them.

I'm confused that Catholicism and todayism lutherans are religions what are they if they're not religion?You're getting confused, I think.
I'm sorry I'm trying to understand what the hell you're talking about.Why did you ask me why "they support and create organizations that operate hospitals?
I'm not a religion, either.
I point out that religions operate hospitals and these hospitals practice medicine which is a science so the statement that religions are anti-science is false unless you're going to tell me that Catholicism is not a religion that Catholic hospitals aren't Catholic

so Catholicism is not anti-science because it is a denomination of Christianity and denomination is not a religion.
Okay that's the way it has to work in your head.

Does this help?
Catholicism: the faith, practice, or system of Catholic Christianity
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Catholicism
No it doesn't. Catholicism is a religion, Catholicism also operates 5,500 hospitals around the world that practice medicine and medicine is a science.
