Faith misusing science gets us anti-vax, and Christian Science.
That said, Venn diagrams are fun.

I’m sure it’s the other way around for some of them...
Because they attend church, does not mean they are Christians... (Yoda, anyone?!)
OH.. btw.. I am sure it will tick off many here..
the PooP is definitely not a Christian...
Atheists tend to view science and religion as mutually exclusive. So do some religious people. I view them as simply different methods with different goals. Both are completely valid within their respective contexts.
I have never met an atheist that could discuss science at my level. Not one. They seem to be ignorant of science but use their position as an atheist to make the claim that they are smarter than everyone else.
What happens when you debate them?
I could agree with that. It’s the blurring of lines between them that generates controversy. When one introduces “why” instead of “how,” ie, conscious motivation, into science, it becomes religion. Better each stay in its own bailiwick.
A lot of atheists claim to be “pro-science” so they can use it as a weapon against religion. But they understand science very little if they think they can use it to disprove the existence of God. The scientific method does not prove or disprove anything. Nor is it ever “settled”, as the manmade climate change proponents often claim. It is an ongoing cyclical method that uses observation and experimentation to support or counter-support a theory. Evidence does not constitute proof, nor does the lack of evidence constitute disproof.
Sir Martin Rees, the “Astronomer Royal” in England, has said they he doesn’t believe in God, but still likes to attend church services for cultural reasons.
The “blurring of lines” is when you misuse either one. Science relies on skepticism. Religion on faith. When you have one using the tools of the other, you have the global warming fanatics and the flat earth fanatics.
Lol, I like the batman in the middle. Exchange “nice” for “efficient” and you’ll probably have James Bond.
A large number of people are neither aetheists nor believers. They are cynical (or scared) whores.
I love it when “ the scientists” talk about ten thousand years or 1 million years ago...Either you were there or it’s pie in the sky thinking..You know,the way you talk about No one can prove God..No one can prove what happened 10,000 ,50,000 or 1 million years,ago...You love blind faith,when you’re the ones putting it out there
After a few minutes their eyes glaze over and they stop talking.
Sometimes at the end of the session I tell them that I design and build my own telescopes.
Nothing is known for certain, but we can use the brains that God gave us to put 2 and 2 together. It doesn’t have to be a choice between knowing nothing and knowing everything. We can use the evidence of our senses and the power of our reason to arrive at most likely conclusions, too.
