Religious individuals perceive their lives as meaningful because religion provides them with both spiritual faith and a sense of social belonging.

"Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts." - Prof. Richard Feynman

"...most Muslim participants did not perceive a conflict between science and religion, because their holy text, the Quran, proclaims many principles of science. Conversely, some Christians perceive that science disagrees with their religion..." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As religious beliefs increase, the perception of compatibility between religion and science on existential issues rises. Conversely, as belief in science grows, the perception of conflict between religion and science increases. The data comes from the UK, the Netherlands, and Kazakhstan.
