People making out that postmodernism is like a religion -- many (though not all) religious believe quite strongly in objective truth.

Most definitely they believe in it.
-
I suspect they'd shift positions pretty quickly if they got power.

When the church had power they believed creationism was definitely true, when they lost it they switched to 'who knows the truth about evo?'
-
Hmm. Not sure that works. If dominant narrative, no need to consider but evo forced on them coz weren't?
-
Creationists definitely use postmodernist type arguments as a strategy.
-
But not as a cynical one, I don't think. As a compatible way of thinking to support their own way.
-
Oh I think they're pretty cynical. They'd like to just replace evolution with creationism but know it's impossible.
-
So you get all this 'who can tell the truth?' and 'we must teach both sides' crap. I suspect it's quite calculated.
