It's hard to work out who the site is by. There's the Templeton

the texts.

The Templeton is religious, it gives out the Templeton prize for the
best demonstration of religion in science. It is the richest prize in
Science. Dawkins says the money makes it almost tempting...

Find a bit of science, then find the religion to go with it? Looking at
the site the prize looks like encouragement as opposed to challenge,
though the last winner was someone looking at the religious answers
to violence.

I've read elsewhere that some people are looking at science to replace
religion by finding scientific answers for the things that religion
raises. One such thing being why people get funny effects if they sit
still and meditate for a long time and is it good or bad?
