Reason and science vs. Belief and tradition

50.8% of Romanians rely more on reason and science when making an important decision, while 43.8% rely on belief and tradition. The proportion of non-responses is 5.4%.

I choose reason and science when making an important decision especially: PNL and USR voters, people under 30 years old, those with higher education, residents of Bucharest and large urban areas. They rely on belief and tradition especially: PSD and AUR voters, people over 60 years old, those with primary education, residents of rural areas.
