Actually they can't unless you are brain-washed or brain-dead: They are polar opposites.

Science assumes we are on a search for truth. Religion claims to be the sole source of truth.

In science we seek Boolean proof through the scientific method. The temperature at which ice melts is the same for Jews, Christians, Moslems, Buddhists, animists, etc. The absolute proof that religion is a crock was stated most eloquently by Stephen Roberts:
"When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."

And by our very own Uncle Al:
"Religion and science are orthogonal - they have
nothing in common and do not overlap in any way.
Religion is based upon faith and is destroyed by
empirical proof. Science is based upon empirical proof and is rendered inoperative by faith."

More than 1000 years ago:
"The world holds two classes of men - intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence."
-Abu'l-Ala-Al-Ma'arri (973-1057)

And by the most important source of wisdom:
"That's the kind of God you people talk about, a country bumpkin, a clumsy, bungling, brainless, conceited, uncouth hayseed. Good God, how much
reverence can you have for a Supreme Being who finds it necessary to include such phenomena as phlegm and tooth decay in His divine system of Creation? What in the world was running through that warped, evil, scatological mind of His when He robbed old people of the power to control their bowel movements?"
