You appear to believe that atheists replace god with science (your "praise science" comment). This is a common fallacy - you are making an assumption that everyone truly in their heart must believe in a god of some kind, and if one claims not to, then "science" must be their god.
I am an atheist. Science is not my god, but it IS the best thing humans have ever invented (and by science, I mean specifically, the scientific method). I do not worship it, or anything else - no matter what you may believe.
Science is NOT just another religion, requiring its own similar brand of faith. To think so is to misunderstand science completely. Science is not something which expects or requires anyone's faith - quite the opposite, it demands your skepticism.
