In my opinion and what I see that many people dislike talking about religion for many reasons. People prefer talking about daily routine and science and else more than talking about religion and science. On the other hand, I like to talk about my religion and discuss my beliefs to people who want me to do so. My thoughts do not reverse the science thoughts about the religion but what I think that there might be little connection between these two. I remember on Christmas I celebrate on Christmas and I try to share my happiness with friends and people that I work with. I found that some people that do not celebrate Christmas, and when I try to congrats them, they said sorry we do not celebrate Christmas and that was not all of them but it was some of them. That is why I am saying keep the discussion away between religion and science. Both science and religion are complex social and cultural endeavors that vary across cultures and have changed over time Confucian thought has held different views of science over time. Public acceptance of scientific facts may be influenced by religion; many in the United States reject the idea of evolution by natural selection, especially regarding human beings. Nevertheless, the American National Academy of Sciences has written that “the evidence for evolution can be fully compatible with religious faith”, a view officially endorsed by many religious denominations globally. other scientists and some contemporary theologians hold that religion and science are non-overlapping magisterial, addressing fundamentally separate forms of knowledge and aspects of life. Some theologians or historians of science, including John Lennox, Thomas Berry, Brian Swimmer, and Ken Wilber propose an interconnection between science and religion, while others such as Ian Barbour believe there are even parallels. The Conflict model assumes that religion and science are incompatible and that only one of these is a legitimate source of knowledge. We are familiar with the militant atheist-types like Richard Dawkins, who deride any kind of religious sentiment. For them, religion is a delusion and the only true knowledge is scientific knowledge, which is subject to testing and objective analysis. However, what Dawkins and others like him do not acknowledge is that everyone is religious in some way.
