Has science refuted religion?"
Not at the base of religion--the basic concept of God. See Mortimer Adler:
How to Think about God.
God is possible beyond the known proven things. Keep up to speed about the
known proven things God is possible beyond to avoid the problem of misinforma-
tion.
Understand faith as such, which is a hope for a possible God. Ideas of God's
name and interventions are matters of faith, too. That also means hurting or
killing for it is arbitrary hurting or killing, short of proof of God, and
shouldn't be done. People shouldn't be punished for somebody's idea of an
apostate or due to state atheism purges of believers.
Sending broadside swings for all believers or non-believers over a wall of
alienation is neither fully informed nor respectful of not creating unnecessary
harm. Some believers and non-believers know better but pander like JWs leaders
in that regard. Propaganda is misinformation and bigotry is harm.
Otherwise, science hasn't refuted religion but only modified it.
Abrahamic religion may be orthodox, conservative, liberal, or progressive/
reform. The latter end of that scale is more concerned to use these points,
possibly see something in an old text as representing the culture of the time
and not God. It's a growing concern which makes a difference in how old texts
are viewed, which category one prefers, but not to the point of refuting
the sharing of faith, religion, altogether.
