Joe, I celebrate religion as the life line in bad times, but it should not be on equal footing or superior standing compared to science in the good times.
Religion has its place in times of civilization collapse' Science has its place as we advance. To believe this will require a great deal of tolerence. Especially in the God Business LLC.

Perhaps our civilization is at a halfway point in which science and religion have equal footing.
The factor that determines which has more relvance is 'TIME'
The religion of science is ETHICS.

You Joe may be open minded but I think you will always view religion as God's great hit and science is OK too.
As guiding principles in civilization go;
I too think religion is great but primarily only in certain times.
