Secularity and Science
Book • 2019
In 'Secularity and Science', Elaine Howard Ecklund examines scientists' attitudes toward religion across eight countries, revealing international variations in secular and religious outlooks among scientific elites.
The book combines survey data and interviews to show that conflict narratives are especially pronounced in some Western contexts while other societies demonstrate more harmonious relations between faith and science.
Ecklund explores cultural, historical, and institutional factors that shape scientists' religious beliefs and secular identities globally.
The study highlights how national education systems, religious traditions, and colonial histories influence scientists' perspectives on religion.
The work offers comparative insights valuable to policymakers, religious leaders, and scholars interested in science-religion dynamics worldwide.
