Do the discoveries of empirical science threaten the rationality of religious belief, or are claims that science debunks religion mistaken? What is rationally required of believers? In this workshop we will explore the uses and abuses of science-based critiques of the rationality of religious belief, reflecting the nature of epistemic and practical reasons, and the relationship between science and religion.
