Mystical Science and Practical Religion examines the religious
discourse employed by Muslim, Hindu, and Sikh applied science
professionals and students, mainly engineers and Information
Technology (IT) workers. Although applied scientists, especially
immigrants to the United States, have shown high rates of
religiosity, there have been few studies of this subject. Based on
interviews with forty-five professionals and students, Cimino finds
that although they are from different faiths, these applied
scientists share a common discourse that blends religion and
science. They each view their religions as the "most scientific."
Their work and study reshapes how they practice and conceptualize
their faiths, though not in the expected directions of
secularization and fundamentalism. This book provides a unique look
at how the much contested fields of science and religion interact
in real life.
