The phrase "treat science like religion" may be applicable to a few atheists but it's also often exaggerated to discredit science's position of authority.

There a lot of people who aren't scientifically minded that treat scientific knowledge just like scripture. It comes from wize people and they just trust and accept it unquestioningly.

Those who practise science know that all knowledge is to be questioned, and everything needs evidence. They also know that everything we "know" is most likely wrong. It's just the best explanation we have so far and that's a good thing.
