It's not only free of religious nonsense, it describes an historical
correlation between cosmological theories--that underpin theories in
virutally every other realm--that vacillate between those connected to
practice and those disconected from observation, and periods of social
crisis.  He clearly demonstrates that these "tendencies" are packed with
ideological content, and that the Big Bang takes many of its cues from
apocalyptic religions.  He incorporates revolutions in cosmology, particle
physics, and themodynamics, to show that Big Bang is a consequence of the
separation of academic work from practical work, and that every
contradiction encountered (and there have been many) has been met with yet
another theory that can not be confirmed, resulting in a Rube Goldberg
bastardation that substitutes for scientific practice.  His
historical-cosomological correlations are gems of the historical
materialist method, even if he never acknowledges (or even realizes) that
they are.
