Nice question isabel,

Can I pose my own question that may help answer your question.

If you fell seriously ill, whose help would you seek: A doctor or a priest?

Perception is reality.
Imagination engages the mind.

Given the level of scientific literacy in most countries these days, and the fact that these simplistic black/white propositions are even entertained, you have to wonder what chance science has against a 'Paris Hilton' world view.

Religion keeps us in the dark. Some people like it there, they don't have to see reality and they certainly don't need to engage their brains.
Science shines a light on things so we see them for what they are, not what we wish them to be.
Of course some people don't like what they see... but then denial is not a river in Egypt.

Science is WAY more important. It is a tool of progress instead of repression, it welcomes new ideas and theories where religion stifles them. I dont even see what religion brings to the table.
