The United States has the industrial and educational institutions of an advanced industrial economy, but it has an abnormally large population of religious and market fundamentalists who hate empiricism and scientific thinking.
American Christians are much less likely to believe that humans evolved than Christians in other industrialized nations. They've become dangerously radicalized because they know they've lost intellectually.

1. A very complicated chart of public opinion in many different nations. Opinion and religious affiliation are graphed. The following is a summary: Christians – especially those for whom religion is highly salient – are less accepting of the idea that humans and other living things have evolved over time. In Canada, for instance, 93% of religiously unaffiliated adults say humans and other living things have evolved over time compared with a smaller majority of all Christians (70%) and 49% of Christians who say religion is very important to them. In South Korea, half of Christians say that humans and other living things have evolved, compared with 73% of Buddhists and 83% of the religiously unaffiliated. Muslims are also less accepting of evolution across the publics surveyed. About four-in-ten Muslims in Malaysia and Singapore say that humans and other living things have evolved. In India and Russia, it is roughly half.

  Majorities say scientific research on gene editing is a misuse – rather than an appropriate use – of technology. But public acceptance of gene editing for babies depends on how it will be used, and views often differ by age and religion.
