Best answer: Science is based on logic and evidence - selfless people have devoted years of their lives to find cures and treatments that have helped humans (including the self-same religionists who oppose scientific advancements) to live their lives with better health and in much less pain and agony compared to previous humans.
People in the dark ages died from simple physical ailments such as the common flu, things that are completely treatable thanks to scientific progress.
Religion is merely a crutch for people who prefer not to accept reality. The fact that an overwhelming majority of people subscribe to it does not alleviate that fact.
All religions have different facades but are in fact variants on the same theme - a system of false beliefs designed to remove all responsibility for a group's actions and behaviour.
Religion encourages a mass 'victim' mentality; similar to what we're seeing in America right now.
All religions were intentionally designed as a vehicle for the most unsavory, nasty and cunning humans to gain funding, power and control over naïve simpletons.
Whilst the notion of a 'winner' between reality and illusion isn't actually a contest, science is real and tangible while religion is artificial and intangible. Furthermore, religion has rationalised countless atrocities towards people, animals and the environment and continues to do this in less-developed countries where religion achieves its purpose as the ultimate belief-based political force.
