Yet, sociological analysis of these subjects remains surprisingly scarce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This wide-ranging book critically reviews the ways in which religious and non-religious belief systems interact with scientific theories and practices. Contributors explore how, for some secularists, 'science' forms an important part of social identity. Others examine how many contemporary religious movements justify their beliefs by making a claim upon science. Moving beyond the traditional focus on the United States, the book shows how debates about science and belief are firmly embedded in political conflict, class, community and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Long\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529206944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529206944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"David Long","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088522227967,"sku":"9781529206944","price":127.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4f3976e-b47b-424f-bef8-01b92104262b.jpg?v=1769105230","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/science-belief-and-society-david-long-9781529206944","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
