I think a lot of conflict comes from "pro-science" people wanting to abolish religion since religion isn't scientific and from religious extremists that want to abolish science because it doesn't contain religion.
If people were to accept that religion and science are different then maybe that could present itself as a solution.
I don't think any religion or religious texts have ever claimed that they are scientific or pass them off as science to be subject to scientific scrutiny. I don't think what religion is trying to do is explain the unknown either because the only thing common in all religions is that it aims to establish a moral standard whether through love or fear is another story, but that is irrelevant either way anyway.
