"The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony
which has been imposed on it by God and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics."

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

It probably depends more on how you're using it than on the actual religion itself.  If it makes you feel that studying the natural world as laid out according to your religion is a good thing... it'll have a positive impact in terms of science.  If it makes you feel that your religion's already got all the answers and therefore you don't need to find out anymore... it'll have a negative impact in terms of science.  I don't think you'll ever get a clear cut "Religions X, Y and Z are bad for discovery, religions A and B are good".

Religion and science are mutually incompatible in the modern world. Religion and science were the same thing in the ancient one.
That's because religions are discarded, primitive attempts at science.

Religion's principles are everything a scientist should avoid : uselessly convoluted explanation, conviction prevailing against proof, patched theories made up as rebuttal comes, and worst of all, accepting unprovable claims.

Say what you will, I'm going to be a scientist and I still have a set of Viking Runes I use. Science will never reach the pinnacle of it's potential until we prove Odin.

Not only is it not actually advertising anything, it's just copy/pasting word salads about gold, runescape, oil, yuan, and handbags.  It's like a transporter accident combined all the spambots into one shambling mass of online sales.

Science is always better when there's multiple languages involved.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Here's how it is, Religion in and of itself does not technicly interfere with Science, it does not help or hinder it. But PEOPLE use religion to go against science, to keep the status quo to keep their control over the general populas.
In short, Religion = Not a problem, People who lead religions = A problem.
