Science can't disprove God - true.
Science can, however, make him irrelevant. All that is left for the religious now is a God of the cracks (the gaps have shrunken that much). Each time science explains another facet of our existence God's role shrinks a little bit more, and each time that happens another percentage or so of people drop their belief.
This accelerates as a process when religious wrong-doing, or failure comes to the fore.
If I say the words - the Bishop and a Choir Boy, I'd be very surprised if the mental image you conjure up bears much similarity with the image you might have seen just 10 years ago.
These things have an effect.
