“…Even though all participants argued that they were partially constrained by nonscientist buyer expectations of the scientist as a quasi-magical being, it seemed that they maintained agency in their identity work, duplicitously drawing on scientism to position themselves akin to scientist priests (Harris, 2017;Jackelén, 2008) capable of using technological sorcery (Haynes, 1994;Schummer, 2006). While clearly a breach of the supposedly secular-materialist foundations of the natural sciences (Plantinga, 2012), scientism is a vehicle for cultural Christians (Moffat & Yoo, 2019) to develop a semiscientific religion not for society (Lessl, 1996), but for high-technology sales. Within this false theocracy, pseudoscientist sellers are avid metaphysical bricoleurs, combining religious and pseudoscientific themes, to position themselves as the ultimate arbiters of truth (Bassett, 2012;Delaney & Hastie, 2007), supposedly mandated (Kant, 1793(Kant, /1960) by the metaphorical 'God' Science.…”

“…Even though only 33% of participants saw themselves as Christian, all argued that they had attended the Church of England as children and received Christian instruction as part of their school education. As such, and following the advice of the participants, this sample is considered culturally Christian, where even secular-atheists can scaffold sense and self through Christian religion and theology (Moffat & Yoo, 2019).…”

The pseudoscientist ‘priest’: religiously selling nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the pinnacle of high technology, increasingly coveted by non-scientist buyers seeking science fiction rather than fact. This B2B ethnography deepens our understanding of scientist sellers rejecting orthodox technical sales talk, in order to guide culturally distant non-scientist buyers into more similar sense via religious pseudoscience (scientism). Although heretical, scientism is a powerful proselytising tool, enabling (pseudo)scientist sellers to reimagine themselves as powerful 'priests', while obligating buyers to have faith in their teachings, or face excommunication from the 'church' of nanotechnology. Within this sales-based 'theocracy', the metaphoric methodological 'God' Science is the ultimate form of validation, duplicitously manipulated, and overtly drawn on to facilitate the diffusion of poorly understood 'salvific' innovations, while supporting an apocryphal religion for high-technology sales.

This study aims to obtain information regarding the impact of learning sociology using “a make-a-match” in the X grades at SMA Negeri 1 Atambua. This study is an action research study (PTK) that is being conducted in order to improve student learning. The subject of this study is 36 students of X grades majoring in Social Science 4 at SMA Negeri 1 Atambua in the academic year 2022/2023. This study is being conducted in two stages, where each rule will be carried out twice, and the final rule will be an evaluation or final test. The findings showed that applying the “make a match” learning model in sociology subjects improved student learning outcomes. It can be shown that the overall score of student learning outcomes at the Pre-cycle meeting is 2,422 with an average of 67.27, whereas the total value of student learning outcomes at Cycle I is 2,612 with an average of 72.55. Meanwhile, the number of results in cycle II is 3,102, with an average of 86 16. This result met the researcher's Success Criteria, 80% higher than the Minimum Completeness Criteria, 73.

Research in recent decades examining the correlates of educational outcomes highlights the role of religiosity in students' academic progress and achievements. An increasing number of recent studies in the field of education confirm this hypothesis, the one of the positive influences of religiosity on behavior and attitudes with a positive effect on the achievement of educational goals and academic results. As such, denominational schools are also under the attention of many researchers who observe differences between these religious schools and other, non-religiously affiliated schools. The sociological literature even speaks of a „religious school effect”, inspired by the original idea of the „Catholic school effect”, stressing that beyond the impact of individual religiosity on school outcomes, mediated mainly by attitudinal and psychosociological effects, there are also moderators at the institutional level resulting from the specificity of denominational schools. In the present study we test these two hypotheses simultaneously by modeling the learning averages of a large sample of 8th graders in Bihor County, Romania, using simple linear regression. Our results confirm what we have already found in previous studies, namely that personal religiosity has a positive effect on learning outcomes, while a separate effect at the institutional level cannot be shown.
