I have spent some time comparing creation myths. There are so many common elements that I believe that they all come from a common root.
There are elements of science that can be profitably advanced by the application of religious writings. It is the religious supposings and creeds that are the problem.
I think your anti-religion hat is on too tight. There are some groups that still claim the earth is flat. They do not do so for religious reasons. You will have reactions against science theories from many sources, for many reasons, singling our religion as the only culprit does not acknowledge the entire set of resistance.
