... the authors say evidence suggests that it may be that the cultural hostility from non-religious or mildly religious students towards religion that keeps highly religious college students from going into science — this, and not a principled hostility to science itself. The researchers find that belonging to any religion at all, except for Judaism, makes you more likely to believe that science and religion have some degree of compatibility, than being non-religious. In other words, it is possible that the non-religious may be effectively discouraging religious believers from choosing a vocation in the sciences, even though the believers see no reason why they can’t be religiously observant and good scientists.
