A religion is based on dogma, science is not, hence science is not a

Some religions may be, that doesn't mean they all are, however.
How do you relate science to beliefs about the world and reality?
Would you say science the collection of those beliefs, or the method
for developing the beliefs?
Science is a way to discover the world, nothing is certain, what you
believe now may be shown wrong tomorrow... that's not the case with
religion...
So if science is the way, the way to what? Where do the beliefs belong?
I would say a more correct definition of religion is a collection if
beliefs, regardless of how you got them.
Some may rely on dogmas if old books, others on newer books and
articles, but either method, science or stake dogmas can provide the
basis of one's world view.
Science never provides the final answer, and so to operate in this
world we must act in our own private beliefs.
That is just my take according to my own definitions. You may define
religion as dogma and come to different cinclusions.
