It's pretty simple. People who think in personal, emotional terms tend to explain the world that way, while people who think more logically/mechanically explain the world that way. That's where religion and science, respectively, come from.

[Pistos2]

[Some] religion[s] and science are not at odds. I'm not atheist, yet I have no problems with the facts and findings of science. I believe in evolution (and that is not incompatible with my faith, even on an official level).

Religion versus science is a false dichotomy. You can be religious, scientific, logical, reasonable and rational at the same time; and many are.

[RyanMcGreal]

The question then becomes: which approach does a better / more accurate / more useful job of explaining the world?

[amichail]

Religious people don't necessarily see that as a goal.

[fburnaby]

Some don't. Others are very willing to make extremely bold truth claims near constantly.

[joubert]

But most of them do. That's the point of religion. It is like a primitive form of philosophy and science mixed together.
