quick question how is science not a form of religion?

Here is a definition of religion provided by merrium webster:
an interest, a belief, or an activity that is very important to a person or group

So then with this definition in mind.. please explain how science does not fall into this "FORM" (his words) of Religion?

...Seems to me 'education' would have one consider all possibilities of a word or meaning, and not just automatically exclude all none typical points of understanding or reasoning given a word or subject matter.

Maybe it's not a form of religion because the definition of science is:

sci·ence
ˈsīəns/
noun
noun: science
[ol]
[li]the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.[/li]
[/ol]
