Galileo went on discovering even though the religion of his day was ...well... ignorant. He worked despite the church- until they caught him. Which rather goes to prove the opposite of JC's conclusion. Scientists will go on even when religions oppose them. Of course some of them may be forced to do their research in secret, and some of them may end up dead, but it is quite obvious from JC's own illustration that the urge to explore the universe, is greater than the force to repress it.
