Relationships between knowledge about evolution, acceptance of evolution, and religious faith. Scores (for each student) for knowledge about evolution (KAEVO score range: 0–12), acceptance of evolution (ATEVO score range: 8–40), and religious faith (PERF score range: 10–50) are displayed. Low scores correspond to low knowledge, low acceptance, and low religious faith. rATEVO–PERF = − 0.37**, n = 8032; rKAEVO–PERF = − 0.36**, n = 7260; rKAEVO–ATEVO = 0.29**, n = 7434; **Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed)
