Where people get this stoopid idea I'll never know. Get real, please.
Relativity is simply a theory derived from certain postulates. End of
story, no religion. It's OK to object to those postulates on
philosophical grounds, as I do for example. It is also true that this
theory has an excellent experimental and predictive quantitative track
record.
In other words: it's fine to object against relativity (or any other
theory) *honestly*. What is dishonest is calling relativity "religion"
just because someone defends the way it's derived from the postulates.
