I hope nobody here suffers under the delusion that atheism is a cure-all for anti-scientific/anti-logical thinking. Consider this guy:
Trofim Lysenko - Wikipedia
He flourished under Stalin, applying socialist principles to crop production and farm animal husbandry. His policies - along with collectivization - resulted in famines causing the deaths of millions of people. Even after the results of this poop show, China adopted his policies, resulting in even worse famine under Mao.
I read Richard Dawkins' book "The God Delusion" a couple of years ago. A central theme of the book is actually a strawman argument - he assumes that belief in God, by default, includes a creationist, anti-scientific mindset. He addressed critics who pointed out that the atheist regimes of the Soviet Union and communist China have brought death and misery to millions by saying that at least it didn't happen in the name of God. My reaction to that was - they implemented their evil practices
despite a lack of belief in God.
And, it's not just officially atheist regimes suppressing religious belief and practice that harbour anti-scientific thought. Even run-of-the-mill left-leaning people get sucked into the mindset, as well.
