Religion and Science: A Complex Intersection and the Case of Gender Theory

The relationship between religion and science has been historically complex, marked by moments of both convergence and divergence.

While science increasingly supports a more fluid and spectrum-based understanding of gender, some religious doctrines maintain a binary view.
