Surely you realize that all religions start with a description of the world and then proscribe actions based upon that reality. Even if we grant the notion that all religion is "about social conformity", it gets there through first explaining the world (usually invoking a creator in the process) in order to try and give some rationale for its later descriptions on what behavior should be avoided or encouraged. The description of the natural world is part of the very foundation upon which all of the control rests. And it's this description that has been completely decimated by science.
Internet forum warriors have done somewhat less work in getting rid of bad ideas.
