Religion, imo, is a decent way to have increased self-esteem and to meet other people with similar beliefs.
Science, on the other hand, paves the way for newer ways to make life easier, more productive, or entertaining.
When I consider these base concepts, I honestly believe they have no room to meddle with each other or even attack each other, simply because in the end they have different core objectives.

Another way you might give someone self-esteem is to convince them from an early age that when they hit about 30 they will become some sort of super-human/super powered thing. Sure, they would feel better about themselves.
By your logic science can have nothing to say about the truth of this idea because they have "different core objectives".
Similarly, would you use that reasoning to defend astrology? It might have different core objectives, that doesn't mean science can have nothing to say about it.
