400 years later and religion reacts the same way.
Excommunication for people contradicting the church, and educational institutions being expected to fall inline when research contradicts church leaders. (look up recent news about BYU and the new LDS Church education director)

meme thieved from unofficial Neil deGrasse Tyson group.
I think we've all been there. I know I've felt personally insulted many times when a group I identify with is criticized. Very difficult to remember its probably not about you at all and not take insult from generalizations.
