I don't seem to have any difficulty being both religious and scientifically literate.
Science may conflict with some religious claims, but it's the choice of the individual how to reconcile that dissonance, and I think, in most cases, it is done honestly and conscientiously given the limits and constraints of the person's beliefs and understanding. People often think that if they can't reconcile the religious and the scientific claims from their perspective, anyone else who claims to do so is either a liar or an idiot. I think this fails to acknowledge that if worldviews differ drastically, it's only natural that conclusions based on those worldviews will differ drastically. No dishonesty necessary.
