Reaching Evangelical American Leaders to Change Hearts and Minds (REAL Change)

2017-2020

megachurch congregation
Funded By: Templeton Religion Trust
Topic Areas: Religion and Science

Previous research has shown that evangelicals in the US are more likely than other religious groups to see tensions between faith and science, to be suspicious of the scientific community, and to have moral problems with science.

This US-based project utilized data from the Religious Understandings of Science (RUS, 2012-2015) project, aiming to provide evangelical leaders and constituents with empirically based, accessible social scientific evidence for how to integrate faith and science to answer questions about human purpose, meaning, and ultimate reality.

In addition to new data collection (with evangelical scientists) and novel analyses, the project will produce a book and a large conference for evangelical leaders.
