Your Definition
A term describing the [transformation] of science from a method of inquiry into a quasi-religious belief system—complete with dogmas, sacred texts (peer-reviewed journals), a priesthood (scientific elites), moral codes, eschatologies ([technological] salvation), and heretics (anyone who questions the orthodoxy). Scientistic religion retains the language of science while abandoning its skeptical, provisional, self-correcting spirit. It is characterized by worship of "Science" as an abstract entity, dismissal of non-scientific knowledge as irrational, and the treatment of [scientific consensus] as infallible revelation. The term is critical, not anti-scientific.
