So you first say:
And then indeed you negate yourself by quoting some unnamed dictionary
So it is system of worship after all, even according to you. But let's look at a dictionary with real credibility, like "Oxford" dictionary, what it says about religion:
The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.

And indeed you are uneducated, it is easily visible from your post that you never read a science book in your life. Whenever someone writes that science is a religion, that atheism is a religion, that evolution has no evidence means that he or she is uneducated dumbass. Especially you who cites christian websites as source.
Bushido is a way of living, similar to being vegan. It's not a religion. But it is hard to talk to person like you who has such subjective look on reality, where you only believe what you want to believe despite the facts and evidence. Like you're probably the only one in the world that believes that Bushido is a religion, concluding that by taking half definitions from dictionary and mixing it with stuff you simply make up. Now that is stupid and you are stupid. You may not be genetically stupid, maybe you need to educate yourself and learn how to think, but again if you feel content toward science books because you think they're false religion you fall back in your magic circle of stupidity. Try with reading Dawkins' "Magic of Reality"
Science changes and upgrades, but difference is that religious person stubbornly believes in an old science. If you're a christian or Jew you believe in ancient Egyptian science how the world was created, because books of creation in the bible were based on ancient Egyptian and Babylonian sciences on that matter. Long time ago people believed that world is flat and that was also scientific worldview, but bad and outdated now. It was also considered that Sun was god Apollo that rode his flaming chariot, but then Anaximander did some experiments and concluded it was false and world is not flat. So unintentionally he killed a god Apollo. Science changed, but some religious people, like Bible literalists still believe stubbornly that archaic science, just like you believe wizard created universe in 6 days.
So yes science changes but it will never change in a way that it turns out wizard created universe in 6 days, just like it won't turn again that the world is flat or there is no Sun but Apollo in flaming chariot.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
