America is consumed with battles between the secular and the religious, between those who want no part of Christianity or any other religion in public life, and those who think that only a nation ruled by God’s Law can hope to survive and flourish. Although in some respects Canada seems more inclined to allow religion into the public sphere – state-supported Catholic schools in Ontario for instance – overall, the science-religion controversy is not really one that bothers people north of the border. Focusing generally on the history of the science-religion debate and specifically on the peculiarities of American history, this talk tries to explain that paradox.
