Up to date knowledge shouldn't impinge on religious knowledge, where it does the religious knowledge is (thankfully) proved to be false. Where it doesn't is still very important knowledge.
Still, religious knowledge is merely a placeholder for that which is not yet discovered. Using it in place of ignorance, when you have no idea of what does actually fill the void, is, at best, still ignorant. "I don't know" is a far better and far more honest assertion than using god to fill the gaps.
