Not if you are using the definition of science and the common vernacular.

I mean, sure you could say that science is a religion in the same vein as I could say that a car is really a planet. In any event, those who express opinions such as yours often do not know what science is.

I mean, since when has religion enabled you to type on a keyboard to strangers across many miles?

It hasn't.

nor has "science"... it is a computer...
belief in future events requires a leap of faith as does belief in religion...
the leap may not be as big, but it required nonetheless...
and no, a car is not really a planet...
