    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.
