The definition of "religion" should be "anti-science", am I right guys?

Religion and science are not in conflict.
Science deals with things that can be observed, experimented on and dealt with theoretically or empirically. Religion deals with private revelation, personal spiritual feelings, religious experiences and old books. The two have nothing to do with each other. Religion isn't science, true, and it'd be wrong to try and bring religion into a scientific discussion (*cough*intelligentdesign*cough*), but religion's no more "anti-science" than art or sport or /b/ is.
Things that ARE anti-science are things that contradict science, that make testable claims and fail. Things like astrology, creationism (which is probably the source of the percieved science/religion conflict), UFO cults, the Xenu story, homeopathy, the paranormal etc.
