Science Vs. Religion Debate Created Post–Secular Americans

Science Vs. Religion Debate Created Post–Secular AmericansScience and religion have always seemed to be at odd’s end, but this may no longer be the case as a new take on life is emerging within what scientists call the Post–Secular Americans, as indicated a recent study published in American Sociological Review. The authors of the study were shocked to find that one in five Americans fits in with Post-Secular classification. The figure is rather significant as the vast majority of these post-secular adepts  did not really stand out in the never-ending debate that set science against religion. The research was conducted by two scientists: Timothy O’brien, an associate professor at the University of Evansville and Shiri Noy, a sociology assistant at the University of Wyoming.

For the research, the scientists examined nationwide data on U.S. grown-ups from the 2006, 2008 and 2010 general social study. Their research material included individuals who  identified themselves as Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and adherents of different beliefs, as well as individuals who did not subscribe to a specific religion. The group found that Americans who were a piece of this “post-secular perspective” had overall high levels of instruction and pay.

They discovered that these post-secular people select the scientific and religious perspectives they would want to hold and have designed their own specific manner of perceiving and understanding the world.  Contrary to the famous hypothesis that Americans are getting to be more secular, O’Brien contends that numerous Americans are basically carving out their own belief systems.

The researchers additionally found that there are three main ideas that separate the Post-Seculars from Traditionals (religious Americans) and Moderns (secular Americans). These ideas are- human evolution, the Big Bang cause of the universe and the age of the Earth.

The authors also found that there are three main concepts that distinguish the Post-Seculars from Traditionals (religious Americans) and Moderns (secular Americans). These concepts are- human evolution, the Big Bang origin of the universe and the age of the Earth.

Post- Seculars are in fact more religious than most “Traditionals” (43 percent of Americans), and  have more scientific knowledge than “Moderns” (36 percent) who remain on science alone, as per the recent study.

The report shows that there’s a sizable number of Americans who are both religious and rationally minded, but who split with both groups when faith and science are at odds.

Post-Secular Americans, out of which half identified themselves as Protestants, are aware of facts like , for example, how lasers work, what anti-infection agents do, and the way hereditary qualities influence acquired  diseases.

However, in terms of three main areas where science and Christian-driven religious perspectives clash Post-Seculars split far from the pack with fundamentally different perspectives from Traditionals and Moderns.
