Maybe the Neil deGrasse Tyson remake of Cosmos has a different tone to Carl Sagan's work. I'd imagined it would very faithful but it completely lacks this tone of humility.
I'm also watching from an almost completely secular society (Sweden) where there is no great need to counter the political influence (etc) of religious organizations. Maybe that is why this comes across as foreign "culture wars" fodder. (I'm also conscious that for this reason I might be naively linking to some partisan organization above... I will just stop typing now.)
