No, religion never was a placeholder for science, anymore so then great novels, art, poetry are placeholders for science. 

People cling to religions for questions regarding meaning, how one ought to live life, how things ought to be. Religions are about dealing with suffering, our desire for community, about the values and virtues we ought to embody. None of which are scientific questions, since all science provides us is answers to how things are.

Religion explained things until science got it right.
