religion was/is just a way to explain the unexplainable for lack of science.
and since we have gotten so much better in recent modern times of explaining things, religion is just some antiquated relic people hold onto from ancient times, further pushed by the fact that someone wrote it down a long time ago.

the difference is that in science there is peer review, such as the scientific method and the ability to reproduce, verify/review and publish results.
whereas in religion it's a lot of opinions on things that may or may not have happened.

but hey, if it makes you a better person and love thy neighbor and sticketh to they 10 commandments and all that, then more power to you. to each their own.
but not when you start pushing your beliefs onto others or blowing shit up or waging all out war.
