Scientists and [Popular] Religion

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/28/AR2010052801856.html has a review of "Scjience vs Religion": What Scientists Really Think" by Elaine Howard Ecklund (no relation). I added the word "popular" because religion is a broader thing than Prof. Ecklund gives it credit for. There more comment on http://blog.beliefnet.com/roddreher/2010/04/science-vs-religion-what-do-scientists-say.html#preview

Prof. Ecklund has a web page on http://www.ehecklund.rice.edu/

I've put some comments out and sent Prof. Ecklund an email and I'll remark on any responses I get. In the meantime I'll think about it and comment on "Religion (In General) vs Science" where I will be more specific about the parts of science that are more like religions than they should be.

Before I get back to this I'll give a hint: I'll be talking about the conservation of parity.
