I find it curious that Jacob Bronowski and his series "The Ascent of Man" is mentioned.
That series is just full of Western art. Art that would not be created without religion.
I must add that The Ascent of Man is very eurocentric. And at the very end, Bronowski ventures outside Europe, attacks Zen Buddhism and immediately makes a fool of himself. Actually, not just a fool, but a man who attacks what he does not understand.
Among all the ludicrous assertions of the Society, they claim that Columbus was a KGB spy whose real name was Grigory Efimovich (they think Efimovich is a last name).
It's a tiny society, it has maybe 100 members. But they are dead serious.

Flat Earth Society is no joke.
It was was founded by Samuel Shenton in 1956 and later led by Charles K. Johnson/ This Johnson truly believed until he died that the earth is flat.
The society was about to stage a media campaign, but the first flight of Soviet and American spacecraft destroyed their plans.
