Men of science, men given to "realism," are likely to make a clean sweep of old interests and sentiments as so much rubbish. They regard religion as superstition, metaphysics as moonshine, art as primitive pastime, and all ritual as monkey-business; they apparently assume that because the traditional answers to old needs have been discredited, the needs themselves have vanished.

— Herbert J. Muller Science and Criticism (1943)
