^^Strawman argument.
No one said science was perfect. But you are wrong: it IS based on objectivity and rationality - if it weren't, all scientific progress to date would be meaningless. Also, even when science is wrong, it still makes progress because it is a step closer to being right. At the end of the day, it is objective, and just as important, it is testable. Religion, not so - it subjective and completely idealist.

"Your very ideas are but the outgrowth of conditions of your bourgeois production and bourgeois property, just as your jurisprudence is but the will of your class, made into law for all, a will whose essential character and direction are determined by the economic conditions of the existence of your class." - Marx (addressing the bourgeois)
