When the religious compare their dogma of choice to science it is almost always a grand misrepresentation of what science actually is. One can break it down for them categorically for instance:
religion – requires a belief in magic and the supernatural
science – requires a dedication to finding the evidence and testable facts about our existence.
As a person who is solidly in the second camp let me assure you, I have no need to “believe” in science. One cannot believe in science as one does religion, it is a false equivocation from the outset. My belief in gravity has no effect on whether gravity applies to me or not, and as hard as I might pray to the gravity gods, I will still be attracted toward the center of the Earth(this works for religious prayer to as well in terms of efficacy).
But what would happen if science was actually a religion. Dr.Dawkins investigates this premise in this video

In a recent thread on this subject at Dr. Dawg’s, I was more than happy to point out the inadequacies of human brains and science for understanding the mysteries of existence.
But even more inadequate are the ancient speculations of the world’s religions.
