This comment is too indirect to be useful. Can you be more explicit?

  To the people at large, a lot of "science" consists entirely of "hey look, a blessed paper says so; anyone who disagrees is a heretic", which is exactly what the atheists (and other-religion-ists) see for insert-religion-here.

    Their schooling taught them better than that. They choose to forget.

    Religion is dogmatic about its static, mutually exclusive, non falsifiable position(s) over extremely long periods of time. The topics you are alluding to are usually novel, complex, changing, and subject to healthy debate. They are quite different. I agree there is an aspect of belief amongst lay persons that they both share which i feel is the more subtle but valid aspect of your argument, but separating it from the initial part of my comment i feel invalidates its usefulness.
