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.

The bishops were issuing death warrants... So...

And science makes no claims about religion. Individual scientists may, but science itself deals in empirical evidence, not doctrine and dogma.

You are the evidence; explain to me why Atheism would exist, if Theism did not?

Assertions without evidence. The hallmark of all good religious whipping boys.

You have made a serious error, I am not religious.

Because atheistic beliefs predate deistic and theistic beliefs.

Animism, for example, has nothing to do with deities.
