An extreme form of scientific bigotry rooted in scientism—the belief that science is the only reliable path to knowledge and that anything not scientifically verifiable is meaningless or false. Scientistic bigotry adds a metaphysical absolutism: not just that science is useful, but that it exhausts reality. Those who hold spiritual, religious, or metaphysical beliefs are not just mistaken but irrational, childish, or mentally ill. Scientistic bigotry often employs psychiatric labels (“delusional,” “schizophrenic”) as slurs, and it treats any tolerance of non‑scientific worldviews as a betrayal of reason. It is a closed, dogmatic system that mimics the very religious certainty it claims to oppose.
