Religion is based on belief, science is based on proof.
Science is based on evidence, not proof. People often conflate the two terms.
Science, for most people, is based on the
belief that a lot of evidence means proof, and as such is no more than religion.
There are not many people who really understand science as what it is and as what it was intended to be... a tool for exploring and developing our reality.
Science in its very core can not provide proof of any kind and anybody who understands Statistics deeply enough know this. Unfortunately even a lot of scientists don't understand this, since they only study how to use Statistics, but not how it work.
In either case, science as used by the majority of people on this planet is no different from a religion.
