"Science is the Antithesis of Faith"

I read something today that nicely follows up on some comments I've made before on the growing trend of godlessness, and especially on the link between science and faith:

Skepticism is the antithesis of faith, and a science that encourages people to question is the enemy of a religion that demands people accept. PZ

Nice.

And that's why fundamentalists of all religions pervert science to maintain their dogma.

And that's why we must all oppose fundamentalism, whether we're [progressive] believers or unbelievers.

I have some scientist friends who are in the 40% of believing scientists, [see Nature 1997] but none of them have a problem in demarcating the line between religion and everything else--they all practice Gould's NOLM.
