No, science is the study of all of what actually is. [1] Religion is merely the indulgence in wishing thinking and the effort to browbeat others into not pointing out the fiction.
Science is in the business of telling religion which of its make beliefs are bull shit.
That's absolutely false. Not even close--even if you espouse naturalism. You can study mathematics, logic, philosophy, language, art, aesthetics, morality, human rights, etc--all not science. For crying out loud, science itself relies on a particular philosophy of science to even get off the ground--which is not itself science. CL was right. Science is the study of the natural world. By definition it cannot even comment on the supernatural.
