Unscientific America: How Scientific Illiteracy Threatens Our Future is a nonfiction book by Chris Mooney and Sheril Kirshenbaum. It was a New York Times best seller.[1] In the book, the authors tackle the problem of scientific illiteracy in America.[2] The authors criticize scientists for talking down to the misinformed and insulting the religious while calling for more friendly and magnanimous science advocates.[3] They also blame the New Atheist movement, the creation–evolution controversy, the entertainment industry, the media, and science skeptics.
