How Science Denial and Christian Perceptions Shape Policy

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This presentation will focus on the public perceptions of Christianity and how they differ from how Christians believe they are perceived, compared to a rising disregard for the scientific consensus. Over the 2025 Spring semester, we worked in a group of two students, in pursuit to understanding the undeniably related uptick in faith based executive orders and science denying policies. We were able to demonstrate the importance in societal acknowledgment of science and different ways of thinking because polarity cause misleading public policy. Through this project, we fortified our understanding of the complexity of science denial and religion.
