And science has no variables? You're missing the point. It's the dogged pursuit of truth, the ability and desire to mercilessly introspect and question beliefs that allows futhering of a civilized society. Science has assumed absolutes that are relative, until science further disproves them and expands or better defines the perspective of the locale. We didn't always believe as a populace that the Earth was round or that the sun emitted photons No one believes the origins of aphids arise from the dew which falls on plants, our perspective on science has changed through science. Some theists do use the same rationality and logical questioning to further our understanding of what may or may not lie outside of the physical realm. It's just sad that so many theists use religion for selfish aims and that atheists equate religion with many negative things because of it. Regardless of the field pursuing the truth and questioning does have value and religion is not mutually exclusive to that, was my point.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
