Given what we have learned about the world and universe around us, I think it would be reasonable to form new religions to try and explain what science cannot, and theorize what might be out there beyond our reach of scientific observation. Instead, most religions just reject science when it contradicts the old books. Since religions respond to scientific observation and inquiry in this manner, which seems contrary to loving and respecting God and His creations, I just can't take it seriously.
If this were strictly true, then Jews/Christians would still believe the Earth is flat and at the centre of the universe, the Hindus would believe the Earth is supported on the backs of elephants standing on the back of a giant turtle, etc.
IMO, your opinion is being coloured by the vocal minority of backward Fundies. There are plenty of religious people out there who accept science without trying to shove Intelligent Design or other such nonsense into the works.
