Ecklund and Scheitle debunk a variety of myths concerning religious Americans' views on science, while also highlighting how questions of God's role in the world and humanity's sacredness create real but more nuanced tensions between science and faith. The result is a book that is of interest to a broad readership, from policymakers to pastors to scientists.
