Religion is just a human excuse to be extremely crappy towards each other. The same applies for other blind beliefs. Science is seen as being opposed to religion,to be impartial and without bias, but when you look at things like eugenics you can see how( bad) science was used and abused to support such beliefs. If you view, as I do, that religion is a set of beliefs and doctrines that are universally supported by a number of people, then you can see that science isn't all that different. It's when religion is seen as a belief in the intangible supernatural, and that belief isn't validated by evidence,that science and religion differ entirely. Either way bother can be used to support or demolish other beliefs, systems and, sadly, other people
