NO!

If the US taxpayer mediocrity wants an institution to support it's mainstream religious views then that's fine. Just don't call it a scientific institution. Call it the higher class of extraterrestrial demonology, the church of the latter-day saints, or whatever they want.

Universities are not institutions to deliver religious preconceptions, except within the self-contained departments of theology.

NASA is a scientific institute concerned with the physics, maths, and biology of extreme flight. Religious preconceptions have no place here (as does physics and maths have no place in theology departments).

If NASA were to be perverted towards a religious standard, it would mark the beginning of the new Dark Ages, and I would be one of the first to commit against such an abomination.
