Two reasons not mentioned. 1. Science itself is often divided about which facts are true facts. 2. Science sometimes researches within such limited (and often agenda-driven) parameters so results are suspect. And usually when contrary experiential data increases, it's ignored.

Politics & religion tied together in US in certain groups: GOP voters, Fox News viewers, etc. Religion is politics by another name & in another form. Scientific skepticism/denialism are ideologically-driven, sometimes more political ideology & other times more religious ideology.
