The extremes, literalist Christians and evangelical atheists, are both fond of the conflict model. They agree that faith and the findings of science are incompatible. They disagree about which way people should jump, but they both insist that a jump to an extreme is needed.
The CLP clarifies for people who aren't already in one of the extreme groups that although both extremes tell them that they have to jump to one of those positions that, no, they don't have to; there are large numbers of people who have both faith and an appreciation for science as it is practiced now.
