Religion, on the other hand, is the act of seeking knowledge that is somewhat less material than many forms of science. Religion involves seeking wisdom, enlightenment, the ability to care for each other, the ability to live a life with meaning, and many other gifts that could be considered divine by those who otherwise do not have them. The two are not meant to be the same and probably never will be.
There as as many foolish scientists as their are foolish clergy, so you can't really compare the two in this respect.

Religion is in no way shape or form the act of seeking knowledge.
It's a commitment or devotion to a religious belief and/or practice. Isaac reads his Bible everyday....he's not LOOKING for truth, he thinks he's already found it.
