      I have no religious beliefs, and so my views on science aren’t affected. The good thing about science is that it is based on factual evidence – you can’t declare anything in science without good proof.

      I think my scientific knowledge affects my religious beliefs. When you know more about the universe you can start to exclude certain religious creation stories (like the bible says the world is about 6000 years old, we know it is much odler).

      I’m also an atheist and don’t have any religious beliefs. Although I can understand why people do believe in religion.
