It can't. Religion is firmly grounded in imagination. No matter how finely
'dressed' religion gets, it still remains devoid of truth. (Try proving
just *one* fact religion and religion alone has presented mankind.) It
only serves to make people feel 'good'. And that would not be such a bad
thing if it weren't for the fact that far too often that 'good' to turns
into hatred, intolerance and an all too powerful incentive for people to
kill people who don't share a particular 'faith'. Get rid of it. Science
is leading us to the truth, and we must follow that 'truth' *wherever* it
takes us. Religion, on the other hand is showing us that it is taking us
straight into a abyss from which mankind will not return. Coexist with the
scientific method? How? By simply 'believing' something is true instead of
'proving' it? The theists have had thousands of years to prove the
existence of 'God'. How many more will it take them to do so? Five
thousand more? By then, the Jesus and the Allah people will have
effectively destroyed our planet in some kind of 'Holy War'. And those few
who would survive the initial catastrophe (nukes) would form bands and
continue the 'struggle' using clubs if they had to.

How stupid we humans are when you think about it.
