It's fear, Mantus. It's masked behind things like anger or indignation or piety, but it's always there. The interesting thing is that most religious people don't have that kind of fear. They have uncertainty, but that comes with the faith territory. It's the terrified folks that tend to cause trouble, that fall in with the bad crowd, that take up hating people because of the color of their skin or who they love, and who decide that science is evil and go to work trying to undermine it.
