OK. Perhaps i should have asked, what did you mean when you wrote “Modern day science as it’s practiced and promoted, has become religious” in post 54 of this thread?
It is open to considerable interpretation. One of which was mine that you have now rejected as inaccurate. I’m fine with that; I am now simply looking for understanding of your words.

Really? You ask that with a straight face?
Much of modern science has become to mixed with ideology and is used to push agendas for one thing, as in global warming and evolution.
Global warming is obvious. I know a lot of evolutionists disagree with the evolution angle, but evolution has become the weapon of choice in the war against religion. There’s a real dearth of protest against misusing science in political and ideological gain.
It is being misused and abused by those who want to hijack it, and the lack of protest from the scientific community is alarming. That silence implies a fair degree of agreement with what’s going on.
Instead of what used to be the search for knowledge and the application of it for the betterment of mankind’s lot, science has become, for many, what they put their confidence in in looking for the answers that only religion can provide. It is being treated, mostly by the atheist/agnostic, the same way that believers treat religion and their faith in God.
The scientific method is useful for exploring our universe. It is useless for providing the answers about the meaning of life, and that is just what is happening today. The faith that some put in science equals the faith that others put in God.
Thus, for some, science has become their religion.
