Scheitle2, Jared Peifer3, and Daniel Bolger1 Abstract Recent media portrayals link climate change skepticism to evolution skepticism, often as part of a larger “antiscience” tendency related to membership in conservative religious groups. Using national survey data, we examine the link between evolution skepticism and climate change skepticism, and consider religion’s association with both. Our analysis shows a modest association between the two forms of skepticism along with some shared predictors, such as political conservatism, a lack of confidence in science, and lower levels of education. Evangelical Protestants also show more skepticism toward both evolution and climate change compared with the religiously unaffiliated. On the whole, however, religion has a much stronger and clearer association with evolution skepticism than with climate change skepticism. Results contribute to scholarly discussions on how different science issues may or may not interact, the role of religion in shaping perceptions of science, and how science policy makers might better channel their efforts to address environmental care and climate change in particular. 1Rice University, Houston, TX, USA 2West Virginia University, Morgantown, USA 3Baruch College, New York, NY, USA Corresponding Author: Elaine Howard Ecklund, Department of Sociology, Rice University MS-28, 6100 Main St., Houston, TX 77006, USA.

  • “Science Vs. Religion: What Scientists Really Think” Dr. Elaine Howard Ecklund and Barbara Bradley Hagerty  November 2010 Conversations
    ABRIDGED TRANSCRIPT “Science vs. Religion: What Scientists Really Think” Dr. Elaine Howard Ecklund Rice University Barbara Bradley Hagerty NPR November 2010 MICHAEL CROMARTIE: Professor Elaine Howard Ecklund has written this new book called Science v. Religion: What Scientists Really Think, which is a wonderfully unique take on the question because we usually read subjects on what religious people think about science. We are delighted to have Dr. Ecklund here this morning. We’re also delighted that Barbara Bradley Hagerty could be here because Barbara has written a New York Times best selling book on religion and spirituality and science. So it’s wonderful to have you both here. DR. ELAINE HOWARD ECKLUND: There’s the perception out there that scientists are completely “areligious” and that they’re even beyond being “areligious.” They are against religion completely, right? I’m a sociologist, and I think sociology at its best often gives us research that’s very deeply surprising and sort of challenges our worldviews and dispels common myths that we believe about ourselves and the world around us. My most recent research is on religion, spirituality and ethics among scientists, research I’ve been working on for the past five years, where I’ve surveyed 2,500 natural and social scientists at the top U.S. research universities, and I’ve achieved a 75 percent response to the initial survey I did, which is very high for survey research. I surveyed them at places like Harvard University, University of Chicago, top state schools like Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and I also followed up by having a lot of face-to-face ABRIDGED TRANSCRIPT “Science vs.

  • Science and Religion in (Global) Public Life: a Sociological
    Science and Religion in (Global) Public Life: A Sociological Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jaar/article/89/2/672/6299230 by guest on 25 September 2021 Perspective Elaine Howard Ecklund* FOR the last fifteen years, I have devoted my life as a sociologist to understanding what scientists and religious people around the globe think about the interface between science and religion.1 I have done so because both religion and science are enormously significant in our social world. Over 5.8 billion individuals identify as religious—this accounts for nearly 85 percent of the global population—and many of those who do not identify as religious think of themselves as possessing some form of spirituality (Pew Research Center 2012; Ecklund and Di Di 2018).2 Religious institutions remain among the most significant ones in the world (Jurgensmeyer 2010; Prothero 2010). Religious belonging and iden- tity shape families and friendships (Edgell 2006; Olson 2019), influence law and politics (Bonikowski and DiMaggio 2016), and provide existen- tial security to people on every continent and across different eras (Berger 1990; Grillo 2011). Science is similarly significant. Over the past two centuries, medical and nutritional advances have nearly doubled the average human life span, more so in some societies than others (Roser 2019).
