Here is an easy way to tell if science is a religion.

Go to the flat earth thread here in off topic.

Read the debate.

Ask yourself can the people backing science show us large bodies of water bending?  How about a vacuum without a container?  Can the people backing science practically demonstrate any of the claims they are making and teaching to our children regarding one of the largest accomplishments of man and science?

Now for the religious aspect.  Do the people backing science become violent, rude and obnoxious while producing no proof what so ever while fighting for their sacred god?

Science = religion.

Natural Science is the only real science.  It must be provable and demonstrable to everyone.  

All science must follow the scientific method.  You cannot just make claims and show obviously doctored up imagery and videos  and call this science.
