It's easy to understand why you feel that science is a religion. Making a statement doesn't establish anything. You have to actually do the legwork of experimentation and measurement, and then your experiment has to be repeatable by somebody else. All you've done is make a speech like a politician, and your statements are just as valuable.
Sure.
Blind faith worship that what science says is gospel.
Elevation of a priestly class.
Locking scriptures away from the public so that mullahs and scientists are required to translate the words of God and science to the public.
A cartel with secular rulers. The priest scientists create the fear for secular to tax and grant legitimacy to secular rulers who in turn fund lavish science lifestyles.
Heresy used to protect scientists from being called out on lies. Aka anti skepticism.
Science has become a new age religion.
