Can we agree that religion is an act of accidental necessity, and also of logical determinism? In the same way, I feel that the current state of science is just a stepping stone towards something greater.
Religion served its role in the development of our emotional selves in the same way that science facilitates the advancement of our intelligent selves, but it feels that people have discarded religion entirely refuse to appreciate the role it's served. This will ultimately be humanity's downfall as in time,  the same will happen to science. Science is very much an incomplete puzzle: there are so many concepts that completely allude us, and as yet are just as hard to prove as the existence of god. Gravity? Consciousness? What the fuck? - So said scientists of the past and present. They're just words we've used as placeholder variables in the unsolvable equation of existence.
Humans are tribal creatures. Mythology, along with kinship and vocation, is the glue that holds together social groups. It is not a coincidence that completely disparate cultures share similar mythological stories, or that different individuals have identical dreams. 
​You are part of a mythology, whether you consent to it or not. It being "supernatural" in nature is not necessary.
All social structures have mythology at their core. The idea that science is inherently good, and religion inherently bad, is one such mythology. The idea that you should clock-in at your job, get a paycheck, pay your rent and utilities, and by doing that somehow be on good standing with the universe is another mythology. That dream you have about your teeth falling out, or having an argument with your parents, or fucking that girl you will never have, that is another mythology. You have those experiences for an evolutionary reason. Humans NEED mythology, because that is the only way to comprehend the completely irrational nature of the universe. And it is totally ok to say "this is just analogy, not a literal explanation." Because there are no truly literal, objective explanations, every human thought and endeavor (including scientific inquiry) contain a great deal of subjectivity.
