As an aside students of comparative theology can show, using observation techniques, logic and reason that "Science" can be a religion. It is usually described as a type 2 religion with and identifiable supreme entity (named either science/reason/logic). It has its own interperters of the religions tenets (scientist=priest). Salvation/completion comes through the supreme entity. It is faith based (ex. "All creation comes from the Big Bang." What was before the Big Bang? How did matter come from nothing? "Science will eventually find the answer.")
Agreed Antryg. Well said.
