I agree with NOMA. Religion is all philosophical thinking and ethics; it cannot possibly tell anyone about the state of matter because it has no reliable methods for doing so. Science has the reliable methods, we can learn everything about the universe through science, but science cannot tell us if there is a God or ultimate purpose to existence given that these things by definition lie outside of the scope of scientific evaluation. I'd prefer to think of NOMA covering the separation of science and ethics/philosophy.
To sum it up in one example: Science can tell us how to make a nuclear bomb. Ethics/Philosophy can tell us why we shouldn't use it.
