Religion is the science of "why." It is not designed to directly tell us how things happen. It's designed to teach us why.

Meaning. Purpose. Love. Motivation. End.

Science is about as useless in these arenas as religion is from a scientific standpoint. But these are irrepressibly significant - even central - elements of the human condition.
This much I actually agree with, and wish more fundamentalists of all types would agree with you on. For the rest, however, you need to correct your spelling of "religion". It's spelled C-h-r-i-s-t-i-a-n-i-t-y and I don't personally agree with that theology.
