I have to disagree with this to a large degree. I'm religious and I don't see my religion stopping me from going forward. Everyone in my religious community has a computer, a car, a cell phone (ok, I don't, but....) and many are in technical jobs. There is no barrier stopping people from believing in scientific theories and religion. Note how he breaks it down though. science, reason and logic are against religion. That's BS. I learnt my logic through religion (a specific religious teacher), I'm reasonable and I know my science. None of this conflicts with my religion. None of it has to.
