Some people think one fundamental societal division is between those who trust in science and those who don't.
While there are fundamentalist religious believers who may have a predilection to not believe certain scientific theories, there are in addition those people who don't trust the establishment that funds science, controlling its direction and, in addition, promotes scientific findings that suit establishment agendas while ignoring or suppressing others that do not.
So, in many cases, it's not a matter of trusting science or not. It's whether a person trusts the establishment.
Those who don’t trust the establishment are routinely attacked by establishment believers and paid propaganda agents in establishment media outlets and in other establishment institutions.
This, of course, has no impact on non-establishment believers, it's only serves to harden the opinions of establishment believers against non-believers, with the aim of suppressing the impact non-believers have on public opinion and the direction society takes.
