That a good observation - the similarities between science and religion. They operate very similarly and in tandem. Scientists are horrified at this prospect, yet they behave very much like the priests of religion. Also, beliefs inform much more of science than science fans are willing to admit.
Also, both deny inner experience in favor of outside authority.
To be complete, science will need to move into the domain of religion and mysticism (as QM is already doing), and religion will need to move into the domain of science (as new-age spirituality and metaphysics is doing).
On both sides, religion and science, we have the people of the old school who will stick to their dogmas and resist this change with great presumed authority. (Very evident in this discussion alone.)
