Well most early scientists were Christian. The world has both science and religion in most counties. So yes. However, in order for progress to occur, religions must either change in light of scientific findings, ignore the findings, or change the scope of religion. This much of Christianity has been doing for a long time. What there isn't room for is both dogmatic theology regarding the physicalities of the world and science.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
