When it comes to the difference of religion and science, it is , what was stated above. Science is looking for proof, and religion is based on faith.
The key to understanding both is understanding human nature. Humans, need to belong and understand the things that seem to defy logic. We, they, us, need to be accepted and to explain adjectives(Who,how, What, when, where and why). That would be where the similarities.
remember that in the end, sometimes we just don't know anything, and that is hard to swallow. We don't know, if the theories, and right, wrong, flawed, or other wise.
