The world would be a nasty place without our scientific advancements, I'm not going to rant about how science is bad just because the world of internet debating makes it seem like it should be in direct contradiction to faith/religion.

Faith deals with morality and our understanding of humanity and life. Science deals with entirely different things, at the end of the day it is about understanding the mateiral world around us. Of course, they can overlap when it comes to the broader existential questions.

Science has reduced the importance of faith, simply because the advancements it has brought has meant that people no longer need to turn to God so much. Complementing th is has been the processes in the political sphere, which has caused the state to replace the social role of religion.
