Well, religion is defined as the belief in a supernatural being. Science is a method, one that is based around hypothesis, experimentation, and theory along with numerous other things. All which are based on evidence, that is to say, fact. Science cannot be defined as a religion based on the fact that it tries to explain the origin of the universe and other things you have noted. The reality is that religions make scientific claims, many of which are false (dependent on the religion) and thus those religions contain failed science. Science shouldn't be thought of as an ideology of sorts or even as a group. It is merely a method of observing reality and contriving conclusions from that.
