"For most medieval scholars, who believed that God created the universe according to geometric & harmonic principles, science – was linked directly to the divine. To seek these principles, therefore, would be to seek God"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_science_in_the_Middle_Ages
In the final analysis, the modern day military-technology complex closely resembles powerful medieval religious institutions in its structure and ambition. More cult than science - just with updated rational sounding god names.
