When some folks think "Science", they don't think "formalized careful thinking/writing things down/reproducibility," they think "competitor priesthood."
"Anti-science" seems like sloganeering.
True. I think hardly anyone on either side would use the term "anti-science". The terms aren't important, but rather the article is referring to the "us-vs-them" mentality.
Also, I like the term "competitor priesthood."
Google only turns up "About 915,000,000 results" for anti-science.
