Comparisons of responses to questions on evolution if posed from the scientific community’s (“scientists”) vs. student perspectives. Mean and 95% CI for the score for scientists’ views of evolution (Q5 and Q17; open circles, dashed lines) and student’s views of evolution (Q10 and Q6; closed triangles and solid lines) are compared among religious (Christians) and not religious students (a, c), and across religious attendance levels (b, d). Detailed statistics can be found in Additional file 7. Note that all answers are scored according to Appendix B of Rutledge and Sadler ([2007]) so that correct answers are closer to 5 and incorrect answers closer to 0.
