The March National Geographic has a cover story "The War on Science"
The link is to some of the text and a reproduction of an actual 19th century map title "the square and stationary earth"

One of the points in the article is that having more education does not make any difference in what you believe.
I don't think any of this is harmless: I see it as slippery slope to witch burning, Nazis, ISIS. Although I have not thought this out in any detail.
