What do you make of the 'cult of science' in the USSR? Why was a similar trend not seen 1950/60s US?

Are you referring to the oppression of religious thought and anything contradictory to Soviet ideology masquerading as scientific progress like we saw with Trofim Lysenko and Lamarkian genetics? If so, I'm happy to elaborate, but I'd hate to give you an answer that you're not looking for!
