Religion can have psychological and social roles, but in terms of really explaining how things work, science works differently. Science is based on material elements at the core.
Religion has been terribly tarnished in the course of time, its pristine purity has long since vanished under the regime of creed, and it is no longer Catholic, that is to say, Universal.
