When I was a kid, science was the scientific method, and repeatable results.

I'm can't pin down a date when that changed.

Science shouldn't concern itself with politics, religion, subjectivity, mood, and societal trends.

Science should concern itself with truth, and the "how" of things.

The "Why", the meaning, how it applies to belief and society: these are things better left to philosophers.

Just my take.

You're exactly right. Many people say, "I believe in science" like it's a creed (and I suppose it is since "creed" comes from the Latin "credo", which means "I believe"), but science has no morality. It's like Ian Malcolm explained in "Jurassic Park": "... your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.".
