People will always find a way to have faith, and that's not a bad thing. I've met people who will renounce anything scientific if it remotely challenges their faith. I've also met people who have blended science into their religion, using it fill the voids. Then there's people who grasp onto science and use it as a religion.

Religion is subjective, and cannot be proven with "evidence" ( I really like Kierkegaard's writings on this subject; thru faith existence is evident), and science is proven only until the next breakthru comes along and proves something else.

A lot of people need something higher to hold on to; that guiding light that gives meaning to life. If that belief focuses them and puts the world in order for them, that's a good thing.
