Buddha is a "guide" to all Buddhists, but yet there are different sects. Christians see Jesus as a "guide" but yet there are different sects. Muslims see Allah and Mohammed as their "guide" but yet there are different sects. Yet computers exist in all the world to sell these old myths on.

Most humans have a religion, yes, but popularity does not equal unity. If popularity of belief was universal there would be one religion and no competing sect within that religion.

Why hasn't science produce a Guide to lead us the straight path if science transcends it? Or is that there is a straight path but no one in this age can walk it? Or has some walked it but none of them are going to guide us upon it? Or is it that there is no straight path because morality is just a concept in our heads?

Thought 1) a straight path to what?  Thought 2) why would the path need to be straight?   Thought 3) why do we need a guide?  Guides are human.  Guides expect us to believe and obey like good little sheeple - guides destroy rational thought in favor of "faith". Thought 4) science does not travel a straight path.  It takes data and tests it, rejecting what is flawed or outmoded, always improving.  Science is constantly changing.  My experience of religion is that religions fear change.
