Do you think Science and Religion can co-exist in a society?

RE: Do you think Science and Religion can co-exist in a society?
If we observe Christians and co-existence with science we can see it is relative. It can co-exist in places where Christianity has pretty much withdrawed to agnosticism. On the other hand there are millions of Christians in places like US (mostly Evangelicals) that live totally secluded lives, don't even think of sending their children to public schools because they will be thought "wicked science". Those kids can not dream to become scientists, astronauts... So for those millions it can't co-exist. They are as Paul from the Bible thought them "Fools for Christ".
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
