My preferred definition is that science is about seeing the world as it is,
religion about seeing the world as we would like it to be.
A good example is the Copernican revolution. Copernicus and Galileo showed
that the earth was not the centre of the universe, but the church insisted
that it was and that man was god's favoured creation.

Science is about questioning one's assumptions; religion is about what's
right and what's wrong.
