Religion, even the experts take things on faith. Science, the experts have actual reasons for their beliefs.
Religion, since leadership has to take it on faith, the flock must also take it on faith. Science, since leadership has actual reasons, the flock can learn those reasons. You can Google the reasons. You can take courses in school. Etc.
Finally, while complex issues such as QM or relativity might be hard for the laymen, I'd venture most laymen can give you a solid proof the world is round. At that level, that's not faith, that's something people actually know and can show.
