Science et religion: compatibles? Enquête du Pew Research Center


Les États-Unis sont profondément marqués par l'appartenance et la pratique religieuses. Si croire est particulièrement important, on accorde également beaucoup de place à la recherche scientifique. Science et religion sont-ils conciliables? Retour sur un vieux débat. Pew a interrogé un nombre significatif d'américains au sujet de leur perception sur la relation entre la religion et la science.

 "People’s sense that there generally is a conflict between religion and science seems to have less to do with their own religious beliefs than it does with their perceptions of other people’s beliefs. Less than one-third of Americans polled in the new survey (30%) say their personal religious beliefs conflict with science, while fully two-thirds (68%) say there is no conflict between their own beliefs and science.

Least Religiously Observant Are Most Likely to Say Science and Religion Are Often in ConflictMoreover, the view that science and religion are often in conflict is particularly common among Americans who are, themselves, not very religiously observant (as measured by frequency of attendance at worship services). Some 73% of adults who seldom or never attend religious services say science and religion are often in conflict. By contrast, among more religiously observant Americans – those who report that they attend religious services on a weekly basis – exactly half (50%) share the view that science and religion frequently conflict."
