To my mind the only way that science and religion relate to one another is that they are both ways in which humans have tried to make sense of the world
Religion has enjoyed a symbiotic existense with the State in many countries through history, with each using the other to influence and control the population. I can't think that the same can be said of science and the State, except for the Nazis' use of 'science' as a means of oppression and control; was there any other time when science and scientists were given a political status?
