That kind of skeptical, questioning, "don't accept what authority tells you" attitude of science - is also nearly identical to the attitude of mind necessary for a functioning democracy. They have very consonant values and approaches, and I don't think you can have one without the other.

The image shows a dam labeled "AUTHORITARIANISM" holding back water, with the main body labeled "SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE" and the area beyond it labeled "LIBERTY." The dam illustrates how authoritarianism and church-state separation can limit or control freedom.
