The world is messed up. I'll grant that. There is apparently very bitter contention between the political parties. I think it is mostly like the sitcoms where it's just misunderstandings and everybody laughs at the end. Actual religion and actual science are not in contention. I think both sides are not well prepared by the education system, and as a result spend too much government money, just in different ways. Imagine how bitter they might be when they discover that.
It seems to me a "college educated" person would be above the misunderstandings.
Science and religion are very much in contention. What is not is God and science. Religious people tend to confuse the Naked God with the one they dress up in their pet myths, rituals, and magical beliefs.
For people who cannot read above a rudimentary level, religion appears to defy "logic." People who cannot understand even as much as logic often include things that have not been proved as "science." So yes, there is contention. Since those people are not taken seriously in the classroom they take their contention to politics where any idiot is allowed to vote.
