Regressing in the conversation a little:
Some words of wisdom may add some clarity:
'Often there is a seeming truce between the humanist and the religious believer, but in fact their attitudes cannot be reconciled: one must choose between this world and the next. And the majority of human beings, if they understood the issue, would choose this world. They do make that choice when they continue working, breeding, and dying instead of crippling their faculties in the hope of obtaining a new lease of existence elsewhere.’
- George Orwell.
Mixing religion with science? ... Some things just don't mix.
