Actually, religion is pretense and pretense is the opposite of science.
It may be that in a given time and circumstance, conflict between a given religion and science simmers in the background and is not etched in sharp relief. But that's just a monster covered by a flimsy rug.
For a long time, the dismetrically opposing foundations of science and christianity is swept under the rug, to the point where the religious even forgot it existed. But christainity is build upon a cosmological pretense and a escatological pretense. The progress of science is such that cosmology is the first place in which it mastered the strength of evidence to knock the legs out from under pretense. This is why science and christianity has been in ever intensifying conflict since.
There are other relgions such as buddhism where the pretense is somewhere else. Science is a progressive craft and its main body does not make overreaching claims without rigorous step by step progress to get there. It has not yet gotten to the point where the pretenses of buddhism is brought into the sharpest relief by science. But it will.
