Having watched the new Cosmos show, and the first episode, and then researching a couple of things, and I can understand if some religious people get upset at the portrayal of the church in regards to Giordano Bruno. The show over simplified and in some ways gave the wrong impression of how the church treated Bruno and what for. He was burned at the steak as a heretic, but not as a scientist, and its somewhat disingenuous in that it pretends that he was treated this way because he was a scientist, instead of new age kook that he really was.
