gods were made up to explain things people didn't understand in the earliest history
science is actualy going beyond such a simple answer, the struggle to understand truthfully the nature and apply what is learned to further that understanding
simple faith alone doesn't allow for that
i geuss you could think of science as a smaller container than religion in a sense in that religion basicly allows more freedom because you don't have to analyze the facts so much... like saying how did the sky just light up with litening? answer: god did it
or you can say anything to explain, but the problem is you fail to truely understand why there is lightening, which is(and i'm no scientist myself and can only very broadly explain it) to do with static electricty
and then of course there is the deeper question related to that which answers "god made static electricity"
and i guess that encourages real scientist(again, i'm no real scientist lol) to challenge that religious answer and thus uncover how that works exactly...
the problem is not necessarily with religion, it's just that it is always being used by its leaders to try and supress science... and i'm not sugesting that there are no athiests stupidly and quite fascistly attempting to supress religion as well
being a marxist-leninist-maoist i am of course athiest because everything i encounter that i don't understand i pursue more knowledge of that by scientific method instead of just jumping to a much easier conclusion, but in my discovery i show other people so that they can improve on it and further the development and of course i encounter alot of people that are supressed by the old way still and find myself constantly struggling with them
i don't tell people that they can't have their god, rather i just show them that their god is not really there and when they open their eyes to it, if they choose, they see that and cease to rely on this crutch that faith is and join me in pusuit of real truth and assist in improving the understanding of it
