Abstract

This work discusses creationism as a new form of religious fundamentalism, which is attacking not only modern science but also the foundations of secularism in Europe, America and almost the whole world, as well as how creationism is using the mechanisms of secular society/state, first of all museums and science in order to strengthen its influence. At the same time a question is posed how much literally understood principles of general tolerance and democracy can subvert the existence of secular and multicultural society in which they arose.
