Good question, deserving of a better answer. History is the unfolding of reality that we know. There was no war between religion and science, the fight was between the church and science; know that history. The Roman Catholic church to be exact; and it once ruled over science.

And the real reason science left the church, was because THEY wanted to speak for God, instead of the Bishops! THEY wanted to give the answers, and receive the admiration of the people.

Seriously? So what?

I doesn't matter where science started or why. I doesn't matter that scientists used to be mostly religious. It doesn't matter why they left the church, or even that they left the church.

Science is non-biased, unassuming, and evidence based. Science evolves with new discoveries. Science is never afraid to admit when it's wrong. Science revels in being wrong and having the opportunity to learn new things.
This is why we look to scientists. If the scientists gave us evidence of a god (real evidence) we would go with that. That is the beauty of looking to science instead of of religion. There is no shame in changing your stance every time new evidence becomes available to you.

So one last final time. Scientists were religious, they left the church because they wanted credit for their discoveries.

So what? Why should that mean that atheists shouldn't like science? Why should that mean we cannot use scientific evidence in our arguments against religion?
