Sounds Like: "A modern believer can say and even believe that his faith is quite
compatible with science and medicine, but the awkward fact will always
be that both things have a tendency to break religion's monopoly, and
have often been fiercely resisted for that reason. What happens to the
faith healer and the shaman when any poor citizen can see the full effect
of drugs and surgeries, administered without ceremonies or mystifications?
Roughly the same thing as happens to the rainmaker when the
climatologist turns up, or to the diviner from the heavens when schoolteachers
get hold of elementary telescopes. Plagues of antiquity were
held to be punishment from the gods, which did much to strengthen
the hold of the priesthood and much to encourage the burning of infidels
and heretics who were thought—in an alternative explanation—to
be spreading disease by witchcraft or else poisoning the wells." Christopher Hitchens
