Summary:

Both use unverifiable means to build their ends. Religion is faster and works for everyone for self development and betterment of the world . Religion also defines a purpose and answers more whys than science.

How:

Science answers the physical whys but not the philosophical whys. Science cannot be used out of our existence; It utilizes causality but doesn’t verify if causality is the real thing or explain why it works or appeals to our brain in first place. We just have to follow science to understand life but I don’t know if we should ultimately trust it where it fails to operate (i.e. out of our existence). Science does not promise any afterlife because it scientifically can not. Religion on the other hand, (most decent ones I mean no Scientology no sppegattimonster no littlepony), most have three things in common, 1- A fair loving forgiving ultimate just god. 2- positive theology in general -(do for others what you would wish they should do to you)- attitude. 3- God forbids injustice upon himself and promises that following his message will help your soul.

Call it science, call it reason, call it nature’s causality, call it the human brain.

Trust is not the word to use with ‘reason’ for at least 1 reason. Also, one should not just follow ‘reason’ just because you trust that it works and makes sense.

I used the word ‘reason’ twice for a reason, and that reason is that there’s a reason why everything happens , however there’s no reason to why reason works. Therefore, if you trust reason ultimately, then you literally trust in something without a reason, which is just as good as trusting a mythical god.

Now the following reason will explain why there’s a reason why ‘reason’ is not the god for all to worship and follow:

Reason can become one “correct” view point that coexists and does not contradict with completely other different ‘correct’ views. Example: ( my reason for raping her is because I’m a psychopath who is not very interested in sympathy, or consideration of others feeling , or what they value as fair , and also my raging sexual drive. I know many who have reasons to be good, but I have a reason to not abide by good traits of sociology or psychology. So following all those reasons, I have no reason why not rape her if I was not going to get caught. Again, I obviously have a strong reason to not follow those good guys reasons. I’m enjoying my free lunch just like the good guys do and it makes perfect sense to me.)

So in short science does not dictate everyone to follow the same reason. You (everyone) sacrifice your moral campus and purpose by doing so.

If you disagree with me, I really wish to receive more comments than downvotes. Stop acting like a religious cult yet claim atheism/agnosticism is built on freethinking
