The difference between the two philosophers coincides on what they thought about religion, where John Dewey is more in favor of science over religion, while Jonathan Edwards thought that science didn't conflict with religious ideas, but rather it supports religious knowledge of God's creations. In Dewey's point of view, he believed that religion itself couldn't be supported by the use of scientific knowledge because he viewed that religion mainly relied on superstitious claims as truth which couldn't refuted. When looking at Edwards work, he tries to explain our purpose in the world all of which is connected with God and that everything we do was due to God's good intentions, as stated in the text "all of reality exists in the mind of God"
