Atheists and agnostics often claim that "science" is somehow the opposite of Christianity. In fact, science is the study of the universe, and is therefore completely compatible with Christianity.

[[Postsecularism]] refers to a number of theories concerning the persistence or resurgence of religious beliefs or practices in the present.
The ''Science Recorder'' declared in 2015:
{{cquote|Science and religion are often presented as opposing world views, but a recent study in the American Sociological Review published Jan. 29, suggests that for some Americans, this binary construction (i.e. science vs. religion) is a false dichotomy.
Authors Timothy O’Brien, an assistant professor at the University of Evansville and co-author Shiri Noy, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wyoming, call these Americans the “Post-Seculars,” and were surprised to find that one in five Americans belongs to this group, a sizable number given that most of these individuals have gone “unnoticed before in endless rounds of debates pitting” science against religion.
According to O’Brien, “[The Post-Seculars] are pretty knowledgeable and appreciative about science and technology but…are also very religions and reject certain scientific theories.”<ref>[http://www.sciencerecorder.com/news/study-discusses-emerging-trend-in-science-versus-religion-debate-post-secularism/ Study discusses emerging trend in science-versus-religion debate: Post-Secularism] by Chiamaka Nwakeze | Science Recorder | January 30, 2015</ref>}}
