RE: Today 200,000 People Learned That Humans Have Walked On The Moon (The Importance of STEM Communication)
The religion thing is likely always going to be one of the stickiest belief due to close link to identity and culture. I used to be quite hard line with my atheism but have mellowed with age, if someone wants to make the world a better place I'm not overly fussed what they believe happens when they die. Quite a few of my colleagues are religions and they do some of the best science out of anyone I know. I find it a little bizarre but I can attested that it doesn't get in their way. So according to pew it looks like 90% believe in a higher power but belief in a specific god has been declining (millennials are killing god!) and those that have doubts is increasing.
As for the distrust and general science knowledge I have to say I'm not sure. There is certainly a strong narrative at the moment about the whole 'my opinion beat your facts' but i'd be interested if it shows in the data, I may look into this for a post some time. As you likely know, I'm usually an optimist on issues like this but willing to accept being wrong here.
