Bigotry that explicitly appeals to scientism—the belief that science is the only legitimate form of knowledge—to justify prejudice against religious, spiritual, or metaphysical individuals and groups. Ideoscientistic bigotry treats any departure from materialist orthodoxy as not merely mistaken but as evidence of intellectual or moral failure. It often includes mockery, accusations of “mental illness,” and demands that believers abandon their worldviews as a precondition for respect. It is scientism as identity politics.
