Well, science is not religion and it doesn't just come down to faith. Although it has many of religion's virtues, it has none of its vices. Science is based upon verifiable evidence. Religious faith not only lacks evidence, its independence from evidence is its pride and joy, shouted from the rooftops.
No. Science and the tech based on it, works even if you don't believe in it. Cell phones and computers work even if you don't believe. You can be atheist about aerodynamics, but I can stuff you aboard an airliner and you will damn well fly anyway. Religion has no way to tell who is wrong in a diagreement.
