The Religion and Science Debate is about a cultural change occurring in the United States and elsewhere. People are wondering why there is a decline in religious affiliation and why many people now say they are "not religious" any more. This book attempts to show some of the sources of these changes and the direction in which they seem to be going. The book looks at the questions that have stirred discussion about the subject for some years and presents a review of the thinking of a number of scholars and students. These views run the gamut between writers that suggest religion, such as Christianity, is no longer persuasive and writers, indeed an Anglican priest, that stand firmly with Christianity. The direction religious bodies will likely go is not clear, and social change usually takes a long time to sort things out. It is an exciting time to be learning about the new ideas that may spell our future.
