For centuries, science and religion have been pitted against each other as incompatible quests for truth. But are they really at odds? A new survey of 10,000 religious people and scientists is shedding new light on this question. How do religious communities view scientists, and how do scientists view religious communities? How can both groups work together to build bridges and increase mutual understanding? And when it comes to engaging with religious communities, what do scientists need to know?
