Scientific discovery

Is a process which is guided by human decision making. To talk as if science is necessarily unilateral and uninvolved with the weaponization of knowledge doesn't seem to be very honest to me.

Human nature is what takes those discoveries and turns them into weapons.

I have two problems with this claim:

1 - It pushes the picture's relevance to religion even further away, 2 - It quietly dismisses all parties and paradigms from any responsibility. If a group of Islamic Extremists took a bunch of every day items, turned them into homemade explosives, and in turn blew up a school full of children, I guarantee 99% of the atheists out there would not say "Oh well, that is human nature." The event would be rightly used to highlight the moral defects of (a) religion. Not only is it duplicitous to turn a blind eye to secular society's own actions that resemble the above scenario but so is it dishonest. Nothing in man's nature makes him fundamentally incapable of recognizing the dangers and immorality of using science in that fashion - which is precisely why we're able to have this conversation in the first place. In short, I will hate neither the bomb nor the neutron but instead the bad ideology that created the former and misused the latter.
