The Church (we should even say "the Churches") is a very complex structure. However you're partly right, and as an institution, the Catholic Church tends to be quite conservative, but it's still better than most Evangelical Churches, which are against science altogether...

Still, I have read an article (I can search it if you are interested) that showed that 30% of professional scientists were affiliated to a religion. It's far less than the general population, but it's not nothing; religion and science can work together, as long as both stay in their line.

That sounds like the exact opposite of "working together"

Bad choice of words, you're right ^^. Science and religion work together like two workers on an assembly line. One takes care of screwing, the other of nailing; if the nailer tries to screw with his hammer, it's not going to work... when people read the Bible to look for biological or astronomical truths, that doesn't work either.

I can agree the church certainly has screwed a lot of people over the years...

You're really throwing out some softballs here dude 😆
