Absentia: Still Best Tech (Beta Sucks)
So they made changes to how Scientific Advancement is calculated, and dropped Absentia from appearing as 1st to 11th in the process. RIGGED!Basically, it stopped factoring in 'low religiousness' into the equation, so my low religiousness' score no longer mattered, and other factors became more important. So the top 20 INT rank became a bigger factor and #3 Secularism became nothing.
Because there's never been any such thing as religions that oppose scientific advances...
