*Science organizations generally have a good track record of calling out pseudoscience. However, most of them have a big blind spot: failure to use the same criteria to challenge religion and its claims (link)(link). They are afraid to attack this most-widely-held pseudoscience because of expected political backlash. They try to use Stephen J. Gould's "Non-Overlapping Magisteria" bogus excuse to say that science and religion address different domains of teaching authority. How might religion have legitimate teaching authority? There is no objective evidence for any claims made. All religions are unsupported superstitions and dogmas.
This link is a good example of how to act against science accommodating religion.
*Individual scientists may or may not challenge religious claims.
