Yep: science gets cut. You can compensate it, however, with large
empires (i.e., lots of cities). 

When you have a large tech advantage over the other players,
fundamentalism is great. When you don't have a tech advantage, or in the
early stages of the game, fundamentalism imposes a big burden (the tech
race is vital in the game, IMHO).
