Your point is still unclear to me. Society always works based on a certain level of mutual trust - the general population trusts the architects to erect buildings which do not immediately collapse. There are measures in place to check their work. In the similar way, scientists produce scientific knowledge, often attached with degrees of belief, which are reevaluated again and again, and checks and balances are also in place. Religious belief does not figure into this any more than in other aspects of public life. You could just as well muse about there being a religious cult of bridges because we dare cross them based on trust in their engineers and regulations. Your use of hindu words or concepts to mean *something* doesn't make your point clearer. Like, what exactly would you like to change?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
