In Why Religion is Natural and Science is Not (2011), Robert N. McCauley seeks to explain why religious concepts seem to persist while scientific ideas require a community and control mechanism to support them. Religion and science are not exactly opposed per se, but conflicts between them do take place all around the world, especially in fundamentalism-influenced societies
