Science and religion battle for authority in the human sphere but both are ultimately dis-empowering because they place authority for the truth outside the individual.
Similar people are attracted to both- those who want someone else to tell them: what is the truth?
Science may come to some conclusions about the "outer" or "objective" nature of physical reality, but when it comes to a broader, more inclusive view of life it is empty handed.
Religions, on the hand, are institutions often led by those who seek to control others and gain worldly power. Their "truths" are often self-serving and are not universal in scope. Because of the mixing of truth with fiction it leaves many followers confused and misguided!
