Hi, Cat.
It seems like such an obvious study, somebody should have done it a long time ago. Also, it's what people have been saying here on this forum for a long time.

The most obvious implication of the research is that "to be compatible, science and religion need to stick to their own territories, their own explanatory space," Preston said. "However, religion and science have never been able to do that, so to me this suggests that the debate is going to go on. It's never going to be settled."
If we're being honest, how many of us really believe that both science and religion have rights to some "explanatory space"? Most science-minded people think religion doesn't actually explain anything. And, most religious people think that science is unreliable. So, very few people actually accept that both have their "explanatory space."
