If science is ruled by a body or like govern body and is doing some fellowship in a certain period of time and date, it would be a religion. If Science has a practice where everybody do it, it could be.

Therefore, SCIENCE is not a religion
Even Philosophy is not a religion.

However, there are religions who has their teachings based on Science. there's so called Science Christianism or Christian Science where they prove the things happened in the Bible with Science, especially the miracles.

But look at the definition of religion - https://www.dictionary.com/browse/religion?s=t.

You will see that religion refers to things that people are devoted to. Religion doesn't have to be an organized group, like a church.

When people depend on science as their hope, or as something they are devoted to, they have a religion going for themselves in science. Other people who don't depend on science, or who are not devoted to science, may not have a science religion.

The reverse is true, as well. Science flows through everything. And, all formal religions make sense to some extent. Because of this, all religions have science in them. Just because the scientific method isn't the primary objective of their religion, doesn't mean that their religion can even exist without science in some way.

Science and religion overlap.
