Which cultural factors shape the attitudes of scientists toward religion? Can scientists help show us a way to build collaboration between scientific and religious communities, if such collaborations are even possible? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo answer these questions and more, the authors of \u003cem\u003eSecularity and Science: What Scientists Around the World Really Think About Religion\u003c\/em\u003e completed the most comprehensive international study of scientists' attitudes toward religion ever undertaken, surveying more than 20,000 scientists and conducting\u003cbr\u003ein-depth interviews with over 600 of them. From this wealth of data, the authors extract the real story of the relationship between science and religion in the lives of scientists around the world. The book makes four key claims: there are more religious scientists than we might think; religion and\u003cbr\u003escience overlap in scientific work; scientists - even atheist scientists - see spirituality in science; and finally, the idea that religion and science must conflict is primarily an invention of the West. Throughout, the book couples nationally representative survey data with captivating stories of\u003cbr\u003eindividual scientists, whose experiences highlight these important themes in the data. \u003cem\u003eSecularity and Science\u003c\/em\u003e leaves inaccurate assumptions about science and religion behind, offering a new, more nuanced understanding of how science and religion interact and how they can be integrated for the common\u003cbr\u003egood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elaine Howard Ecklund, David R.
