Right it's not a religion.
It has no rituals no need for moral codes, No houses of worship, no religious figures.

Not religion.
Really.
Religions deal with magic and the supernatural. Science deals with facts, things with which you seem to have some comprehension problems.
Of course, we can similarly prove that church is really just a transit facility:
Church = bus station.
Heaven and hell = destinations served by this bus line.
Collection plate = ticket counter.
Preacher = bus driver.
Bulletin = schedule of arrivals and departures.
Prayer = announcement of departures.
Communion = transit cafeteria.
Pews = uncomfortable seating with no choice of seat mate.
Confession = baggage check-in.
Not religion? Really?
Oh, I dunno. But considering how - in his early years - Charles Darwin was in training to join the clergy of the Church of England, and despite he becoming an Agnostic upon his discoveries he was still buried & memorialised by the same C-of-E in their central place of worship Westminster Abbey...:

...you tell me.
But you'd better not go there and see who is also similarly buried & memorialised as of last year...:

...if you know what's good for you. Certainly if your 'Belie fs' are based on the KJV: which came from the Church of England.
No, no, no, none of these even work like that, you really can't into logic, can you?
That's pretty much reaching on dogma (your example doesn't make sense), sciences' Bible (science doesn't just have one text that is adhered to as closely as the Bible is), Jesus(evolution doesn't save anyone. It's more a progression) and Grant writing (in the US that's granted by the Federal government and possibly other organizations. Not by the people on the street.)
Science makes no distinction between the sacred and the profane. There are no rituals which cultivate a sense of reverence or awe around the sacred. There are no moral commands given by science, as it can only describe how the world is, not how we humans ought to be.
Science is a religion because they are dogmatic about not being a religion?
So, if i accuse you of being a vampire, you would not simply insist that you are not, you would be dogmatic about not being a vampire, which makes your religion NOT VAMPIRE.

Driving is religion, apparently.
And this guy would probably agree. Me, I'm still an atheist; I don't even have a driver's licence.

...who entered Heaven when he drove a Bugatti Veyron - carrying a Pharaoh's Testicle* - in a race from Italy to Britain against Captain Slow & Hamster in a light plane, a Channel Tunnel train & a London bus. Moreover, when the Trio carried Gold, Shampoo & Nintendo DS** into the Holy Land:

Some say that in Soviet BBC, hot meal punches you. And that when the Trio went to the Sea of Galilee, Atheist J eremy C larkson went on the Sea of Galilee. All we know is... he's called the Second Coming!

The "religion science" says it is science but:
Theories - myths
Scientists - theologians
laws of physics - puns
Evolution - Satan
Grant writing - be very very afraid so you'll send me money
Museums - Disney animatronic displays.
Debates - foot self shooting
Nonsense
Again
Logic is destroyed (purposely) by fundamentalist religions.
It's why they're against critical thinking courses and comparative religion studies in grades K-13 and against universities completely.
They have no idea how to do analogies.
So you regularly see shit comparisons like this
Ya rely
Anyone who knows anything about how science works knows those things are not equivalent to eachother.
Science is just a way of investigating the world around us. Scientists are not fucking priest. Noone is using Origin of the Species to dictate their morals; or as a rulebook with which to force their morals on others.
As for the comparisons to the creation story and the Big Bang theory... eh, isn't comparing your creation story to the worst sitcom on telivision kinda harsh? It's actually pretty entertaining; if kinda sexist.
Oh, you were comparing story about how women and snakes are responsible for all of the evil in the world with a theory about how the universe was created with actual evidence to support it? My bad. That's even dumber.
As for Jesus and evolution... weird contrast. As I'm pretty sure most scientists believe that Jesus actually existed. Even if they don't believe in his miracles. Just that there was, in fact, a guy named Jesus. Who founded a religion. While most fundies dismiss any evidence of evolution as FAKE LIES TO DECEIVE BELIEVERS!
Also, not all scientists even study evolution. That's what really gets me about this "Christians vs Scientists!" thing. It's not just "curse these eeeevil evolutionary biologists and their lies!" it's "SCIENCE BAD! JESUS GOOD! DON'T LISTEN TO THOSE BAD SCIENTISTS! ANYTHING THEY SAY IS A LIE!"
The 'NRA religion' says it's not a religion but:
seminaries - shooting ranges
priests - republican politicians

#Bible - gun manuals
#Jesus - "The name I gave ma gun, cause it sends you to meet 'im. Or it would. If guns were dangerous."
collection plate - lobbyists.
See how much of a fucking bullshit stretch that was?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
