Well, there's definitely truth in that. People do use religion and ideology as a replacement for logic. When I as growing up and attending a small Catholic private school, one of the students once asked how could we believe in both God and science. He answered that we leave religion for the religion classes and science for the science classes. What he meant and went on to explain was that our religion is all about faith and we shouldn't seek to find scientific proof of God's existence. However, when we are dealing with earthly things, then science is an excellent method for disciplined inquiry and finding out the way things work. That lesson stuck with me. I believe in God and I believe in using science for disciplined inquiry. I don't find any contradictions in that, though I know many people do. You'll notice that I never bludgeon people with my religious beliefs, since that is a personal thing for me. Instead, I argue with such facts and logic that are at my disposal and I try to keep it as civil as possible in e very uncivil world.
