Prejudice, discrimination, and hostility directed against individuals or groups because their beliefs, practices, or ways of knowing are judged to fall outside the scientific method. This bigotry often masks itself as mere "criticism of ideas," but its targets are people: religious believers, spiritual seekers, alternative medicine practitioners, indigenous knowledge holders, and anyone who questions materialism. The bigot uses terms like "pseudoscience," "quackery," "woo," or "irrational" as slurs, and demands that the target abandon their worldview to be treated as a full human being. Scientific method bigotry is scientism weaponized as identity politics.
