I think the main difference between the religious and scientific thoughts is that religion tries to explain the world while science tries to describe the world.
By that i mean ideas like god give you an explanation of how and why the world exists. This is of course without proof and depends on your faith in that explanation. On the other side science doesn't claim to have an explanation for anything that can't(yet) be proven, but science is there to describe how the world looks like(where and why ever it came from)
