      The problem is that science overlaps religious claims, and will continue to do so as we learn more about the universe.

        Sure, certain faiths overlap, but I could imagine a religion based in deism. That could be compatible for a little while longer. Yes, I do recognise this is just God of the gaps.

          If you had a religion that, as part of it’s core system, explicitly yielded to science as it progresses… or a religion that explicitly framed all of its claims in such a way as to avoid all possible future contradictions with scientific discovery… sure. I’m not a “religion expert” or anything but I’m not aware of any such religions. It sounds like a hypothetical, philosophical proposal.

        It basically posits that there are two universes, the world of God and the world of nature and science and never the twain shall meet and affect each other.
