In other words, in order for science to replace religious beliefs, people have to learn science - they need to be educated. You don't get it for free.

The same thing could be said of Christianity, "most people only have a rough idea what
Christianity is and many don't know or are even wrong about it." But for those who understand it have no need to replace science. The theist can appreciate the discoveries of science as revealing the mysteries of the universe God created.
