Science and religion are not mutually exclusive.
Science and religion are both important

Roko's basilisk is gonna hit humanity hard folks
considering natural selection favors the religious i dont think so.
Muslims disagree. Ever wondered why most of the stars have Arabic names, or why we use Arabic numerals, or why algebra is an Arabic word? So on and so froth. Arabs were the fucking best... then along came Islam and outlawed science and math. Look at where they are now.
Natural selection favors having memory so we're able to figure out things like "the guy that is coughing will die, just like the other guys that were coughing". Natural selection doesn't give a shit about the superstitions created due to those memories.
does everyone just categorize the things unknown into "religion and spirituality"? the unfounded lazy way out?
"god willed it", et. al.
God is the way and the light.

No. Humans are hardwired to believe in horseshit like religion. Also... I've seen some people speculate that if belief in God has a genetic component to it (maybe it does, but don't think evidence is certain yet) then with religious people of this world multiplying way more than the western secular people, then that means Jesus is here to stay.
