According to Adam Savage of Mythbusters the answer is no.
So here are Steve Colbert's 8 best Atheist Moments (which I found amusing and thought I'd share)
I would turn this into a discussion about religion but I know some of you are quite religious and I dont want to rock the boat. :)

i would assume religon would involve some sort of deity or something. Unless they created some fictional deity like the machine god, the builder, scientist and had its own half baked hierarchy, relgious activities of blessing every machine or experiment then maybe. Otherwise, no.
Science is not a religion, rather a big investigative, exploration process to answer questions or find solutions where reglion merely covers over with faith and not concrete answers.

"Is science a religion?"
I guess it depends on how you view religion itself. Is one persons own faith a religion, or does it only become a religion when many people get together to worship?

Very true.

Oh, and Luetchyboy, you are mixing up Religion with Organised Religion, which is the group built up around a religion rather than the ideas/ideals of the religion itself.

I think the word that should be highlighted is 'should'.
Science is, in essence, what we currently believe to be true. This can and will change over time, from a minute to a year. An experiment is not 100% fact, it is a method of finding out something based in part on knowledge and on assumption. Even the greatest scientific minds are proved wrong at times after presenting what seemed to be irrefutable proof at the time.
I don't think science can be called a religion, but I see the point of the arguement.
