Note. All analyses adjust for demographic variables and moral foundations scores. Scientific literacy did not contribute to the explained variance of faith in science and vice versa; thus, for these variables, the final model is omitted from this table. Science funding allocation: Higher scores indicate a lower ranking of science on the resource allocation task. GM = genetic modification.
