Part of your difficulty accepting religion may stem from the fact that 
science, itself, IS a religion.  Consider that it has its sacred texts, 
its priests, and its method (ritual).  It's taught in the schools, like 
religion used to be.  It's used as "proof" of reality, like Christians use 
the Bible as "proof."  Science has every characteristic of a religion, and 
for a while it was the dominant religion of the Western world, as 
Nietzsche demonstrated.  But Nietzsche also said that science would 
collapse on itself and lead to nihilism.  Look around you.  Nihilism is 
everywhere.
