Religion and science are opposite because it seems that science is constantly trying to fix what "god created" (if you believe such things) like finding cures, making people travel and live at places they couldn't before, not to mention other stuff that we frequently discuss here. So no wonder religion constantly meddled into scientific progress, because it always seemed as if "against god" like opposing something so trivial and logic like anesthesia with an argument that people have to suffer because Adam's sin. So in a way science is a mockery of religion.
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"
